Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get blood flowing around the bruise. Avoid aspirin, alcohol, and prescription blood-thinners. Use an herbal compress. Look for over-the-counter creams made to reduce darkness around the eyes. Apply vitamin C and vinegar to your bruise. Conceal a bruise with makeup. Know when to see a doctor.

Answer: Lightly massage the bruise and the area around it and it will get the blood flowing, in return, get the bruise to fade. Healthy blood carries chemicals that will clean up your bruise, so stimulate blood flow to get rid of it quickly. Be gentle -- you do not need to cause pain, just stimulation to encourage blood flow.  Try using a toothbrush or comb to massage the bruise. Take a stiff, unused toothbrush and just gently massage the bruise with a circular motions. Massage your bruise with a rice-filled sock: Fill a clean sock with 3-4 cups of uncooked rice and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until it is warm to the touch. Now press the sock firmly against the bruise, massaging it with heat and gentle motions to stimulate blood flow. These can make your blood "thinner" and increase the tendency to bleed into injured tissues. You should never stop taking a prescription medication without first checking with your physician, however Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief instead of aspirin. Read the label for the recommended dose. Using a compress soaked in an infusion (like a tea) of Arnica, Daisy (like the ones you see in your backyard), or Comfrey, and Witch Hazel can help the bruise heal faster.  Pour boiling water over the loose leaves/flowers and let steep for about 5-10 minutes. Dip the compress (small towel, piece of cloth, or cotton) in the infusion and gently wring it out. Add some Witch Hazel. You can even place some of the leaves/flowers between the folds of the compress. Hold it on the bruise or secure it with a loose bandage, scarf, bandana, etc. Keep it on for as long as you can, resoaking & gently wringing it out as often as necessary. If you do not have any Arnica, Daisy, or Comfrey available, using plain Witch Hazel also works, just not as fast. Vitamin K is known to help reduce bruising when applied topically or taken orally.  Vitamin K is a known requirement for proper blood clotting. Check with your physician before taking any oral medication. Not all people can absorb Vitamin K, and frequent easy bruising should be evaluated by a physician. Vinegar kills bacteria and increases blood flow to the skin's surface. Crush several vitamin c pills and add enough white vinegar to make a thin paste. Apply to your bruise like you would apply regular skin lotion. This method doesn't get rid of bruises, but it does make for a quick cover up. You will need a yellow concealer (to correct the purple parts of the bruise), a green concealer (to correct the red parts of the bruise), regular concealer (optional), and foundation. First, apply the yellow concealer directly on the bruise and pat it on gently. Now pat on the green concealer around the edges of the bruise to correct the redness. Once that's all done, you can either apply regular concealer and/or foundation to it to give your skin a natural look. Any bruise you cannot account for, any bruise that is weeping or seeping fluid, any very large or extensive bruise should be seen by a physician.  These can be indicators of a more serious or life-threatening condition.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use black plastic or mulch to control weeds. Fertilize the bell pepper plants. Wait for the bell peppers to ripen before picking. Protect the bell pepper plant from sudden drops in temperature. Save the pepper seeds for future planting. Get rid of used plants.

Answer: The former material is also a good way to speed pepper growth in cool climate areas. Gardeners in warm climates will want to stick to mulch because it helps conserve moisture and protects the plants’ roots from hot temperatures. These plants benefit from an addition of slow release granular fertilizer, such as Osmocote, or organic varieties, like those made with fish meal or alfalfa. However, if one has leafy green plants and no peppers, gardeners should probably cut back on the nitrogen fertilizer. This element is known for producing lush, fruitless plants. Almost all bell peppers start off green and eventually ripen to the desired color in about two weeks, though some types can take as long as a month for the right color to develop. Tall varieties may need to be staked to support the fruit and keep the plants from falling over while the fruit grows and ripens. Wire cages wrapped with plastic were mentioned in Mother Earth News article the author read as a good way to insulate tomato seedlings against sudden drops in temperature. Another way to prevent seedling from getting too cold is to use bell jars (hot caps). These devices were originally made from glass but now are more likely to be made from leftover plastic milk or soda bottles. Pepper seeds can be saved for up to two years under ideal conditions. This means that growers will not have to purchase seed annually if they store the leftovers in a dark, dry location to keep them from sprouting prematurely. Once the first chill of winter sets in, gardeners can harvest the remaining fruit and then dig the plants up. Specimens that are not diseased are good candidates for the compost bin. Diseased plants can be bagged up and left with the trash to prevent the disease from spreading.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Inspect the wound. Be wary of puncture wounds and animal bites. Rinse the wound again. Clean the wound. Bandage the wound. Look for signs of infection.

Answer:
You need to inspect the wound once it stops bleeding. Get to the cleanest, safest area that you can. You don't want to risk infection from environmental contaminants. Examine the wound to figure out how deep it is. If it is less than 1cm, you do not need to seek outside medical help and you can continue to clean the wound on your own.  If it looks deeper than 1cm, you will need stitches, even if the blood stopped flowing. Reapply the pressure dressing and seek medical attention as soon as possible. If you have a large area of abrasion, which is greater than 12 cm by 12 cm, with a significant amount of particulate matter, seek medical attention as well so the area can be appropriately cleansed. That much debris will cause infection if not removed. This can be done by a doctor under local anesthesia.   If the wound is dirty or caused by something rusty and it has been more than 10 years since your last tetanus shot, you will need a tetanus shot right away. Wounds can be misleading. Small wounds, such as puncture wounds, may seem small but they can be quite deep and are often full of bacteria. They also often become infected. This is particularly true of animal or human bites, so always seek medical attention for this kind of wound. Bacteria that live in the mouths of humans, cats, dogs, and other animals contain pasteurella and other virulent bacteria that can lead you from a small bite to the operating room within 24 hours.  This is also true of fight bites, which are incurred during a fist fight. When one individual hits another in the mouth and gets accidentally bitten by the others teeth, the wounds are also particularly prone to infection. A bite may need to be treated with prescription antibiotics to prevent infection. Make sure you go to the doctor or emergency room to deal with bites. If your wound does not need medical care, you can take care of it at home. Rinse the wound with warm water to remove the excess blood.  This may disrupt clotted blood and the wound may ooze or begin bleeding again. This is normal and shows that there is no significant vascular damage to contend with and the bleeding will stop again after cleansing. Once you rinse your wound of the initial blood, you can clean the wound. First, wash your hands with soap and hot water. This will help prevent contamination of the wound and help stop infection. Next, soak a gauze or clean cloth in a providone-Iodine solution such as Betadine. This will kill any bacteria that you will have encountered when your skin broke. Once you clean the wound with the solution, pat it dry with sterile gauze or a clean cloth.  If irrigation of the wound did not get out all of the debris in the wound, such as twigs, thorns, or pebbles, use tweezers to very carefully pull out the remaining debris. Do not probe the wound because you could injure yourself further. If you don't have any providone-Iodine solution, you can use any antiseptic wash that is used on open wounds. If you don't have any solution at all, you can rinse the wound out for an additional amount of time to ensure it is cleaned as well as possible. Once your wound has been adequately rinsed and cleaned, you need to bandage it to keep it protected. First, apply antibacterial ointment such as Neosporin to the wound with gauze, a cotton ball, or a Q-tip. Next, if your wound is small and superficial, use a band-aid to cover the wound. If it is larger, grab a fresh set of gauze and medical tape from your first aid kit. Place the gauze over the wound and secure the edges of the bandage with tape. This will keep debris out.  If you do not have gauze and medical tape, you need to purchase wound supplies at the drug store or pharmacy. The wound needs to be bandaged properly with sterile supplies in order to prevent infection. If the wound is over a flexible joint, buy rolled gauze to make it more easily managed and the bandage more secure. After your initial dressing, perform the cleansing and dressing ritual daily. When you are cleaning the wound, you need to look for signs of infection. These include redness at the wound edges, especially if the wound area expands from one day to the next, drainage or pus on the wound, and a fever. As long as no signs of infection present themselves, your wound should heal within a two to three week time frame. Lower extremity wounds or wounds on those who are obese  may take on the longer to heal.
