Problem: Article: If you currently have syphilis, it is essential that you protect others from the disease, even if you are already on antibiotics. The disease may still be transmitted during treatment, even when physical symptoms are not present. If you are infected, it is your responsibility to avoid all sexual contact (oral, anal, and vaginal sex) during treatment to prevent transmission of the disease. If you have sores on your mouth, then you should not even kiss anyone because the disease may pass through the sores. This includes former partners who may have been exposed to your infection prior to treatment. It is essential all partners are informed so that they can seek testing and treatment if necessary, or decide to decline sexual interaction with you until you are completely free of the illness. Failure to do so may increase risk of transmission. This barrier method may help prevent transmission of syphilis during treatment. Make sure that you use condoms during all acts of vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Keep in mind that condom use is only effective if all of the affected areas are covered to prevent contact with the mucus membranes or broken skin of a sexual partner. Make sure that you use dental dams or latex barriers when performing oral sex on a female partner.
Summary: Abstain from sexual contact. Inform all sexual partners of your infection. Use a latex condom.

Problem: Article: Before wrapping in the opposite direction, press down on the yarn between the pegs with the side of the hand. This moves the loops down on the pegs and creates room to loop the yarn around each of the pegs again. There should be some resistance when pressing down on the yarn. This  indicates good tension, which will result in a neat looking finished scarf. If the yarn feels loose or has already slid to the peg bottom on its own, then the pegs are not wrapped tightly enough. In this case, you may need to start over. Each peg (except for the last peg wrapped) will need to have two loops on it before working the loops off the loom. To make a second pass, bring the yarn down from the last peg wrapped and around it in the same direction as the yarn from the previous pass. Bring the yarn up to the next peg moving back towards the beginning of the loom. Keep wrapping the yarn around the pegs in the same direction as first round of loops until the last peg (the first peg wrapped on the first pass). Wrap this peg from the opposite direction. After wrapping the last peg, hold the yarn in place with fingers or wrap it around the anchor peg on this side of the loom. When each peg in the row is wrapped twice (except for last peg on upper end of the loom) begin working the bottom row of loops off the loom. Insert loom tool through the bottom loop on the last peg in lower row. Bring the loop up and over the other loop on the peg to knit it.  After knitting the first loop on the lower row, repeat for the bottom loop on the upper row. Return to the lower row going back and forth to knit the loops until the end of the row. When finished working the first round of loops off the loom, only one stitch is on each of the pegs. Continue the process of wrapping the yarn around the pegs and working back and forth across rows to knit the loops. Continue until scarf is the length desired.  After a few rows, knit material comes through the bottom of the loom. Measure the knitted material to determine where the scarf will end. Four rows creates 1” (2.5 cm) of knit material. For a scarf five feet long or 60” (152 cm), knit about 240 rows on the loom.
Summary: Press down on the stitches. Wrap the yarn around the stitches again. Loop last peg in the opposite direction. Use loom tool to lift bottom loops over top loops. Repeat process to the desired length.

Problem: Article: People with a cold or the flu can have similar symptoms, such as a runny nose, a sore throat, or a cough. However, you're more likely to be achy and run a fever with the flu, and you're also more likely to have chest discomfort and a headache. Sometimes you may also feel nausea or disorientation. If you've only had your symptoms for a day or two, then Tamiflu, an antiviral drug, can help you get better faster, as well as prevent you from getting the flu if people around you are sick.  Since the flu is a virus, it isn't strictly necessary for you to go to the doctor immediately, as the virus will usually run its course without extra help. Nonetheless, if you want to get over the virus more quickly, Tamiflu can reduce the time you're sick as well the severity of the sickness. If someone in your house has the flu but you don’t, you may still get prescribed Tamiflu to avoid getting the virus. Go to the doctor if you have shortness of breath or chest pains or if you can't keep fluids down due to vomiting. Your doctor can help you decide on the best over-the-counter drug options to treat the symptoms. You can also ask your pharmacist for help. If you have complications such as a continuous high fever over 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit or chest pains, talk to your doctor.  The flu should only last about 5 to 7 days, so check with your doctor if your symptoms linger.  Complications from the flu can include strep throat, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other infections. Seek treatment if you suspect you have one of these complications since they’ll require an antibiotic.
Summary: Check your symptoms. Go to the doctor for Tamiflu. Ask for drug recommendations. Go to your doctor if symptoms worsen.

Problem: Article: Turn the oven on to 350°F (180°C). Get out a baking sheet and line the sheet with a silicone baking mat. If you don't have a mat, you can line it with a sheet of parchment paper. Set the pan aside while you make the cookie dough. Get out a large mixing bowl and measure all of the dry ingredients into it. Use a spoon or whisk to stir the dry ingredients together for about 30 seconds. You'll need:  1 1/4 cups (112 g) rolled oats (not quick-cooking) 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/2 cup (48 g) almond flour 1/2 cup (83 g) brown rice flour Peel 1 large banana and place it into a food processor. Add the remaining wet ingredients and put the lid on the food processor. Blend the wet ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. You'll need to blend:  1/2 cup (125 g) stirred, smooth almond butter 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup 2 tablespoons ground flax seed 3 tablespoons liquid virgin-coconut oil 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Remove the lid from the food processor and scoop the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a sturdy spoon or rubber spatula to stir the mixtures together to form cookie batter. If you'd like to add extra crunch or sweetness to the oatmeal breakfast cookies, add in 1 cup (125 g) of chopped nuts or dried fruit. Gently stir the batter until the nuts or fruit are incorporated. The cookie dough will be very stiff at this point. For example, try a mix of dried blueberries, pumpkin seeds, or chopped walnuts. You can use two spoons to scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Or use a cookie scoop that measures about 2 tablespoons to scoop the dough onto the sheet. Set the cookies about 2-inches (5-cm) apart on the sheet. Gently flatten each of the cookies a little. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 15 to 17 minutes. The cookies will puff a little and become slightly brown once they've finished baking. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack. Store the leftover oatmeal raisin cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Summary:
Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet. Combine the dry ingredients. Blend the wet ingredients together. Combine the wet and dry mixtures. Stir in any chopped nuts or dried fruit you want to use. Scoop the cookies onto the prepared sheet. Bake the oatmeal raisin cookies.
