Problem: Article: If you notice some of the signs of a hookworm infection then you should get your dog checked out by a vet. The vet will perform a thorough physical examination to assess the patient, paying attention to what symptoms the dog has and how severe they are. If the veterinarian suspects a hookworm infection, a diagnosis can be confirmed on a fecal flotation test. This is a special test where a sample of feces is mixed with a special solution and the hookworms eggs float to the surface. This is because the hookworm eggs are less dense than the fluid and the feces.  A clean microscope slide is then touched to the surface of the special solution and any eggs present stick to the slide. This is then examined under the microscope for the presence of hookworm eggs. This test is liable to detect a positive hookworm infection because hookworms pass large numbers of eggs that are shed regularly. The only time it is less reliable is in very young pups when the larvae have yet to mature into the adult form and therefore no eggs have been produced. This usually takes around 2 weeks, so if one negative test was obtained, a second test 2 - 3 weeks later should prove positive if the pup is infected. The good news is that hookworms can be killed with a wide variety of deworming medications. However, these are only effective against adult worms, so it is a good idea to repeat dose the dogs 2 - 4 weeks after the initial dose. Because of the greater risk of puppies being infected, it is advisable to treat them at 2,4,6, and 8 weeks of age with a product suitable for use at this age, such as fenbendazole (Panacur or Safeguard).
Summary: Take your dog to the vet. Bring a stool sample with you. Follow your veterinarian's suggestions for treatment.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Try sourdough for a tangy flavor, or an airy bread like ciabatta if you like the cheese oozing through the holes and burning on the pan. Buttering both sides will create a golden crust and a moist interior. If you use unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the pan to add more flavor. Some cheeses melt into gooey goodness, and some cheeses have a strong flavor worthy of the toastie. Choose a cheese that does both, or combine a cheese from each category. Here's the breakdown:  Good melting cheeses: cheddar, Red Leicester, Gruyere, grated parmesan, Fontina, Emmental, Muenster, Gouda Poor melting cheese (pair with one of the above): mozzarella, feta, provolone

SUMMARY: Butter a slice of white bread on both sides. Add sliced or grated cheese.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Clarify how long the hiders will have to find a hiding spot before the seeker stops counting. Many games employ a rule of 50 seconds, while other people have opted for a shorter time span. Keep this amount of time in mind so you can plan for the perfect hiding spot. While it’s fun to be ambitious, don’t go for an impossible-to-reach hiding location. The longer it takes you to hide, the greater the chances are that the seeker will find you early on. When the seeker starts counting, don’t pick a hiding place right away. Instead, hover in a far away corner and wait for the seeker to check a certain room. Since there’s a good chance that they won’t check the room for awhile, hide in that spot after the seeker leaves. Check and make sure that you’re allowed to do this before the game starts. Some groups might have stricter rules than others! Try to avoid areas that are painted or filled with furniture that’s a solid color. Unless you’re playing in the dark, you won’t be able to blend in very well to a couch or curtain that’s bright red. Instead, look for multi-colored areas where you can try and blend into the background. Try and use decoys whenever possible. If there’s a bedroom or couch in your hiding area, stuff a few pillows under a blanket and lay it on the surface. The seeker might get distracted and check under the blanket, which will buy you more time. Don’t give yourself away by breathing heavily. As tempting and clever as it might originally seem to hold your breath, you might find yourself in trouble once your lungs need more air. Instead, imitate military breathing exercises and take low, slow breaths. If you’re quiet, the seeker won’t be able to detect you by sound! Practice this type of breathing throughout the day, even when you’re not playing the game. This will help you gain expertise for future rounds of hide and seek! Avoid the temptation to hide on an especially high ledge, or to sneak into a clothes dryer. As creative as these ideas are, there’s a big risk for injury and worse if you try and fit yourself in an unstable area. Before the round starts, clarify with the other players if there are any spots that are off-limits. If you aren’t sure if you’re allowed to hide in a certain area, then don’t hide there at all. You can’t master the game if you end up breaking the rules!
Summary: Determine how long the seeker is allowed to count for at the beginning of the round. Pick a hiding place after the seeker looks in a room. Look for areas that provide a lot of camouflage. Inhale in slow breaths so you’re not overheard. Don’t hide in any dangerous areas during the game.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hydrocortisone 1% is a topical cream used to treat itchy skin conditions. Apply a dime-sized portion to any mosquito bite and wait a few minutes for the cream to take effect.  Clean the affected area before applying. Use up to four times a day. Do not use longer than seven days. For children under six months, consult a doctor. However, do not use hydrocortisone on children under the age of two or apply on the rectal or vaginal area of children younger than 12 years old unless you have been directed to do so by a doctor. An orally-ingested antihistamine, such as Benadryl, can alleviate mosquito bite symptoms. Follow the recommended dosage to stop yourself from scratching. You can even take this medication preemptively; if you know you will be exposed to a large number mosquito bites.  Dosage is based on your age, medical condition, and response to treatment, so follow the instructions on the packaging. For children under six months, consult a doctor. Similar to hydrocortisone, antihistamine creams are topical ointments used to treat skin allergies. You can use a topical antihistamine cream to treat mosquito bites. Just apply a dime-sized amount to any bites, and soon you will stop scratching.  Clean affected area before applying. Use up to four times a day. This should be used topically only, and not ingested. For children under six months, consult a doctor. Calamine lotion is famous for treating the wounds of chicken pox, but it can have a similarly soothing effect for mosquito bites. Use a cotton ball to apply the pink liquid to any mosquito bite. Calamine lotion is safe for babies. Isopropyl rubbing alcohol can be used to stop the itching of mosquito bites. Rubbing alcohol helps to ease inflammation and calm the itch. Furthermore, rubbing alcohol can disinfect the bite, reducing any risk of infection. Use a cotton swab to apply some rubbing alcohol to any affected area. Take care not to get rubbing alcohol in your mouth or eyes because this will cause irritation.
Summary:
Apply hydrocortisone. Take an oral allergy medication. Use an antihistamine cream. Use calamine lotion. Apply rubbing alcohol.
