INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are a variety of nasal rinses that come prepackaged and ready to use. Look for a product labeled as a "nasal rinse," "sinus rinse," or for "nasal irrigation." They are typically available at pharmacies but can be found in some grocery and big box stores as well.  Most store-bought nasal rinse products are made up almost exclusively of saline. Saline is a combination of purified water and salt.  Read and follow the directions on the packaging. These directions should include how to do the nasal rinse and how often you can do it. Some store-bought nasal rinse products require that you add purified or boiled and cooled water to the applicator. If your product says to do this, be sure to do it and don't simply add tap water. Use purified bottled water from an unopened bottle, or boil some tap water and let it cool if bottled water is unavailable. There are a variety of devices that can be used to clean out the sinuses. These include commercial nasal saline rinse bottles, ear bulb syringes, and neti pots. Look for devices from online retailers or from pharmacies or natural product stores in your area.  All of these products work generally in the same way. They apply the rinse into 1 nostril and the rinse travels through the sinuses and out the other nostril. Be sure that the device that you buy is made specifically for irrigating the nasal passages. If you are unsure what device to get, ask your pharmacist for advice. Before rinsing out your nose, try to get it as clear as possible. Giving it a good blow will make the rinse easier to do and more effective. Take a look at your nasal discharge when you blow your nose. If it’s clear and watery, it’s likely to be due to allergies or a common cold. A nasal rinse is an appropriate treatment in these cases. If your mucus is yellowish, green, or brown, you may have a sinus infection, which requires antibiotic treatment prescribed by a healthcare professional. To use the nasal rinse, you have to be near a sink or some other place that can catch the dirty water. The water will travel into 1 nostril and out the other, so make sure it has somewhere to go.

SUMMARY: Purchase a nasal rinse product if not making your own rinse. Get an irrigation device. Blow your nose to clear out your nasal passages. Go to a sink to prevent a mess.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rats need exercise and free roam time to prevent boredom and cabin fever. Rats that don't get let out tend to become territorial, aggressive towards people, and shy. Let your rats out at least once a day in their play area for at least an hour. If you have the time, let them out more often for longer, and don't forget to interact with them when they're out!  Rats are extremely social animals and will feel cramped and bored if they stay in their cage with no interaction. Even if you have a few rats, the cage simply isn't enough space for them to roam and be curious. Handle your rats with care, as mishandled rats can start to distrust people and may become aggressive. Never squeeze or throw your rats, only hold them in your palm or let them walk on your arms. Rats are very quick and very nimble, so even if you think the cardboard barrier is tall enough, a rat can jump it if desperate enough. Rats also fight quite often, but break up fights that get particularly vicious. Never leave the room your rats are playing in or you won't be able to prevent them from escaping, fighting, or chewing things they shouldn't.  When play fighting, rats will squeak and tumble around, but when really fighting, their fur raises and they scream a lot louder and a lot more often, usually while wrestling quite viciously. Break up fights that seem too rough, but let your rats play if they aren't actively scratching or biting each other. Check your rats for scratches and bites if the fight got too intense. Keep the rats separated until they've both calmed down if one has been hurt. For particularly bad injuries, contact your vet for help. Rats are incredibly prone to respiratory issues  — in fact, it's the number one cause of rat deaths. Do not smoke or vape in the same room as your rats ever, and turn off oil diffusers and put out candles in the same room as well. Use dust-free lining for the cage and clean it at least once a week to further prevent respiratory issues. If you see your rat pee or poop in the play area, wipe it or pick it up with a dry paper towel and discard it. Clean the underlying tarp or blanket between uses to minimize the risk of getting your rats sick or stinking up the play area. If the blanket or tarp doesn't smell or has no stains, it's usually fine to use at least one more time before a wash. Always wash and clean your tarp or blanket if your rats relieved themselves on it. Rinse non-cardboard toys under water, wash fabric tunnels at least once a week, and replace cardboard boxes as they start to smell and get chewed up. This ensures that your rats' play area is fresh and clean every time, and reduces the chance of getting respiratory issues or diseases. If the barrier itself becomes damaged, try duct tape to cover holes first, but you may need to remove damaged panels and re-attach new ones if the holes are unfixable.

SUMMARY: Let your rats out for free-range play time at least once a day. Keep an eye on the rats as they play to watch for escapes and fights. Avoid smoking or vaping in the same room as the rats. Clean up messes as soon as they occur, and wash the blanket or tarp between uses. Wash and repair toys as the rats dirty and damage them.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The best way to get away from killer bees is to run as fast as you possibly can away from the swarm. Run in a straight line as quickly as you can, away from the swarming killer bees. Continue to run for at least 100 yards (300 ft) or until the bees stop chasing you. Use a blanket, sheet, or your shirt to cover your head and face. Position the sheet or blanket so that you can still see under it. If you don't have anything to cover your head and face with, use your hands to cover your face, making sure not to cover your eyes so that you can still see. African honey bees will target your face and head area and the most severe injuries are usually sustained in those areas. Try to find a place that has a door that you can close. Good shelter includes your house, your car, or a public restroom. Only a small amount of bees will be able to follow you into a closed space. Even if a few killer bees do get through, it should stop the assault of the entire swarm. Once you get inside, bees will become attracted to the light from the windows. Turn off the lights so that your windows are the only light source in the area. From there, you can open the windows and let the bees out. Make sure that the swarm is no longer near your house when you open the window.

SUMMARY:
Run until the killer bees stop chasing you. Cover your head and face. Seek shelter as soon as possible. Turn off the lights once you're inside.
