In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most women experience yeast infections now and then, and they can usually be combated with over-the-counter antifungal creams or suppositories. The treatments come in doses that are taken over a period of 1, 3, 5, or 7 days, depending on how severe your infection is. Most yeast infection treatments also come with anti-itch cream that can be used to help with itching and burning around the vulva area.  If you are pregnant, make sure to consult your health care provider before taking any medication, even if you feel certain that you have a yeast infection. If you aren't sure that what you have is a yeast infection, you should see a doctor to double check. Yeast infection symptoms include curd-like, yellowish discharge with a bad smell, itching and burning in the vaginal area, a rash on the vulva, and burning or soreness. If your infection still won't go away after a week or so, make an appointment with your doctor to get prescription medication that will wipe out your infection. You can also try doubling your daily intake of yogurt or other fermented foods to increase the levels of "good" bacteria in your body. Vaginitis can be caused by yeast infections, bacterial infections, parasites, and other causes. It's characterized by a discharge with a fish-like odor, burning and itching, and a rash around the vulva. You can buy over-the-counter creams to combat the uncomfortable symptoms, but you should go to the doctor to figure out the cause and receive a prescription as necessary. Sexually transmitted diseases such as HPV, chlamydia, genital warts, and others can cause long-term damage if left untreated. If you have unprotected sex and feel there's a possibility you could have contracted an STD, make an appointment with your doctor or go to a health clinic. In many cases you'll be able to get free testing. Many women aren't familiar with the way their vaginas look and feel, so they aren't aware when something changes. Every vagina is different, and it's important to know how your vagina normally looks, feels, and smells so that when something changes, you'll notice and seek medical attention if necessary. Go to the doctor if you notice a stark change in color, warts or other bumps, discharge that smells or looks different, or if you have pain in your vagina.
Summary: Try over-the-counter remedies for yeast infections. Go to the doctor to get treated for vaginitis. Get regularly tested for STDs. Go to the doctor if you notice something out of the ordinary.

Jicama is a vegetable, not a fruit. This round, fleshy vegetable can grow to be quite large, and its skin has a bark-like texture.  The jicama’s taste has been described as similar to an apple. Sometimes called a Mexican turnip, jicama is a starchy, slightly sweet root vegetable popular in Mexico. It has the texture of a firm pear or raw potato. Jícama is a species in the genus Pachyrhizus in the bean family. Plants in this genus are referred to as yam bean, although that term can be another name for the jicama root itself. It grows in Central America, South Asia, and the Caribbean. There are many reasons to eat jicama. For one, it has very few calories, only 35 per 100g. Jicama also is good for lowering cholesterol and has very low sodium.  It is a great source of dietary fiber. It is considered a good snack for people with diabetes, or people who are on diets. However, you should also know that jicama contains an organic toxin called rotenone that has been linked to Parkinson’s disease in some studies. The toxin is mostly found in the leaf tops, stems, and seed pods, so don't eat those. The peeled roots are considered safe for human consumption. Jicama is rich in vitamin C. Jicama also contains important minerals like magnesium, copper, iron, and manganese.

Problem: Article: St. Lucia Day processions are traditionally done by children and teenagers. There isn’t a required number of participants, but you need at least one older girl to portray St. Lucia. Other girls will be her Maidens, and boys participate as Star Boys. Very young children often participate as elves, gingerbread people, or other mythological creatures.  If you don't live in Sweden, contact your local Swedish cultural association to ask for volunteers. Ask your family and friends! You can also try posting a request for volunteers on your local neighborhood message boards. The procession should take place on the evening of December 13th, when it's dark enough for the candles to give off lots of light. You can hold the procession indoors or outdoors--some suitable places include parks, churches, Swedish cultural associations, or even your own neighborhood streets. St. Lucia and her Maidens wear long-sleeved white dresses with a red sash and red stockings. You can buy all of these at most big clothing stores, but you can also sew them yourself. St. Lucia also wears an evergreen wreath (often called a crown) with seven candles on her head. Premade St. Lucia wreaths are available, but you can also make one yourself. Star Boys wear white robes with a white cone-shaped hat with stars on it--very similar to a wizard’s hat. You can easily make the hats out of white posterboard and star cutouts. You will need one candle for each participant, as well as seven candles for St. Lucia’s wreath. Electric candles are recommended for safety. Make sure you have printouts of the traditional St. Lucia Day song. This is especially important if you plan to sing it in Swedish but have participants who don’t speak the language. Make sure all the lights in the room or outside are off. Everybody should have their candle on before the procession begins! In the actual procession, St. Lucia walks ahead, with the Maidens immediately behind her. The Star Boys and other participants walk behind the Maidens. Traditionally, the procession would go along the entire main street of the town, but nowadays it is much shorter. The procession can be as short as a walk up the main aisle of the church. After the walk is completed, St. Lucia stands in the center, with the Maidens in a semicircle behind her and the other participants along the sides and back of the semicircle. St. Lucia leads the whole group in singing the St. Lucia Day song, either in Swedish or in translation. You can listen to the Lucia song in Swedish here.
Summary:
Find your participants. Schedule the procession. Buy or make the dresses for Lucia and the Maidens. Buy or make the wreath. Find costumes for the boys. Buy white candles. Print out song lyrics and music. Turn off the lights and light the candles. Walk in the procession. Sing the Lucia song.
