INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some people claim using banana peels and raw eggs resulted in improvement of welts and bruises. If your welt is not healing in response to other treatments, try rubbing the peel of a ripe banana on your welt or breaking a raw egg over the wound. Some anecdotal evidence indicates increasing your intake of vitamin K and C can help heal a welt. This may be because both vitamins have a positive effect on the immune system.  Stop by your local pharmacy and see if they carry Vitamin K creams. Ask for instructions on how to apply. Some people find Vitamin K cuts down on healing time. Vitamin C is found in foods like citrus fruits, pineapples, and apples. Upping your intake of natural Vitamin C may have some effect on the healing time of a welt. You can buy Epsom salt at most drug stores and supermarkets. Run a warm bath and add a cup or so of Epsom salt. Let it dissolve and soak for about 20 minutes. Adding essential oils to the bath may also be beneficial. Try lavender or geranium.

SUMMARY: Try banana peels or raw eggs. Use Vitamin K and C. Take a bath with Epsom salt.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you faint, you lose consciousness and will not be able to do anything to help break your fall. Because of this, it's important to know what the prodromal stage or "presyncope" feels like. This will give you a few seconds to act. While not everyone experiences fainting episodes the same way, most people have some combination of the following:  Increased sweating despite a cold sensation. Nausea. Discomfort in the center of your lower chest or upper abdomen. Sudden extreme fatigue. A feeling of weakness. Dizziness or vertigo.  Confusion. Blurred vision or seeing spots. Ringing in your ears. These are actions that increase your blood pressure, delaying and sometimes preventing syncope altogether.  Cross your legs while tensing them along with your abdominal muscles. Clench an object with some give, such as a rubber ball, as hard as possible. Grip one hand with the other and tense your arms, moving them slowly away from your body. The most dangerous part of fainting is the possibility that you will injure yourself when you fall. Do your best to get away from high-risk areas and towards places where you are less likely to hurt yourself. You may be able to take just a few steps while experiencing presyncope, but that distance is often all you need to prevent injury.  Some examples of high risk areas include streets, train terminals, staircases, and anywhere with a nearby steep drop. Staircases pose a unique problem. If you are already standing on a staircase, do not try to go up or down, even if it's just a few steps. Instead, hold on to the railing and gently slide down to sit on the step you are currently standing on. Try to get to a better place to fall. If you are standing in an area that has hard flooring or furniture with sharp edges, try to get to an uncluttered space with either carpeting or grass. When you're feeling faint, ideally you should lie down on a couch or bed with your legs elevated. When you lose consciousness, the people around you will be the ones who can make sure you stay safe. Even in an uncluttered area with soft flooring, your fall can still cause potential injury. If someone can catch you and lower you gently to the ground, your risk becomes greatly reduced.  Try for someone you know. A stranger is less likely to catch you when you fall. Unfortunately, many people with fainting disorders are often misinterpreted as being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  If you can still talk, try saying "Help!" or "I'm fainting!" This will alert people around you, who may be able to react in time to catch you. If you are close to soft furniture, try to aim your fall so that your unconscious body will land on it lying down. Face towards the furniture and shift your weight forward. The couch or bed will give you a safe place for you to fall onto, preventing injury. Having your legs elevated will also help your blood get to your brain more easily, shortening the episode's length. If you are near a wall that doesn't have sharp-edged furniture nearby, try getting to it before you faint. Do not try to lean against a wall with outcroppings that you could hit your head on. It's best to lean with your back against the wall, but using your arms and chest will also work if you are unable to do so. From the leaning position, gradually bend your knees and slide to the ground. Once you get low to the ground, lean forward and stay in a squatting position or lie down. Either method will minimize injury while getting your blood pressure back to normal faster. Standing back up too quickly may cause you to faint again. Whether you actually lost consciousness or only experienced an episode of presyncope, do not try to stand up again until your symptoms have completely passed. This may take a few minutes. The exception to this rule is if your fainting was caused by immediate physical danger. If that's the case, try leaving the area as quickly as possible.
Summary: Detect the early warning signs. Buy yourself time with counter-pressure maneuvers. Get to safety. Move towards someone who can catch you. Fall onto a sofa or bed. Lean against a wall. Slide slowly to the floor. Wait until you feel completely better before trying to stand up again.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you plan to add new wires or a light switches that to an existing kitchen outlet, make sure the electrical box that houses the outlet has enough room. You will have to replace the box with a larger one if it doesn’t. Use the National Electrical Code to determine the size of the electrical box. Calculate the amount of wires, devices, and clamps you will put in the box. Add 1 cubic inch for each hot and neutral wire, 2 cubic inches for each device (such as a switch), 1 cubic inch for all ground wires, and 1 cubic inch for all clamps. Take this sum and multiply it by either 2 for 14-gauge wire or 2.25 for 12-gauge wire. This calculation will give you the minimum box requirement in cubic inches. You do not have to do calculations for plastic boxes as the volume is stamped inside of them. Do this at the circuit breaker. Find the switch labeled kitchen and make sure it’s off. Test to see if the power is turned off, plug in a device such as a lamp or radio into the outlet and see if it turns on.  You can also use a receptacle tester on the outlet. The lights on the test will come on if any power still running into the outlet. While the circuit breaker may be labeled, make sure you test the outlet anyway. There may have been changes in the wiring since the box was installed, or the wiring may be defective. First, unscrew the wall plate that holds the outlet. Then, unscrew the outlet from the electrical box. Take the outlet out and disconnect any wires that are connected to it. The electrical box is nailed to a wall stud. Look around the electrical box to determine which side the stud is on. Use a flashlight if it’s too dark to see. You don’t want to saw through the stud when you are expanding the hole to hold new electrical box. Hold the new electrical box over the existing box in the wall so the expansion of the hole is on the side that isn’t nailed to a stud. Use a pencil to make an outline of where you will cut with the drywall saw. Make sure that any wiring connected to the old electrical box is loose before removing it. Pulling out the box when the wires are tight will damage the wiring. Once you are sure that wires are loose, remove the old box by using a flat pry bar.

SUMMARY:
Determine if you need a new electrical box. Turn off the power to the kitchen. Remove the outlet from the electrical box. Draw an outline of the new electrical box. Remove the old electrical box.
