In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A moisturizing lotion may be made up mostly of water and, with repeated use, can actually strip the natural oils from the skin, causing further irritation. Look for a cream or ointment that is not labeled as a solution or lotion and contains natural oils.  Aloe vera will also soothe and hydrate the skin affected by the rash. You can use an aloe vera gel or use it straight from the plant itself.  Make sure the product is unscented, as the additional ingredients can irritate your rash. Hydrocortisone is a mild corticosteroid and can make you much more comfortable as your rash heals. It should only be used in the short-term unless longer use is prescribed by a doctor.  Stop using the cream if you experience further irritation or redness or develop acne where you applied the hydrocortisone.  Laying a damp cotton cloth over the applied hydrocortisone can help your skin absorb it faster. You can get a over-the-counter antihistamines in drowsy or non-drowsy formulas. Your body will have released histamines to protect you from infection, but these may also cause you to itch (they're the same things that cause your nose to run when you have an allergic reaction). The antihistamine will suppress the side-effects of the histamine, leaving you itch-free.  If the itching is keeping you awake at night, try an antihistamine that makes you sleepy (it probably won't be labeled as such, but it won't have "non-drowsy" on the box).  Because antihistamines can make you tired (sometimes even the non-drowsy antihistamines can have this side-effect), don't take any before driving or doing anything else that requires you to be very alert. If you begin developing other side effects, like hives or a fever, or your current symptoms get worse, contact your doctor immediately.
Summary: Use moisturizing cream on the rash. Apply a hydrocortisone cream to reduce swelling, reduce redness, and itching. Take an antihistamine to control itchiness. See a doctor if the rash doesn't disappear after a few days or respond to treatment.

Pour the beans onto a large, flat baking sheet and spread them out until they’re distributed across the entire surface. Sift through the beans by hand and pick out any foreign object you find. No amount of soaking will soften a rock!  Since beans grow in the ground, it’s not uncommon for them to contain small stones or other debris. Rocks will usually be easy to spot, as they’re colorless and tend to be smaller than most kinds of beans. Transfer the beans to a colander and run them under a stream of cool water, tossing or stirring them by hand occasionally. A quick trip under the faucet will help wash away any traces of dirt that happen to be clinging to the bean. Continue rinsing the beans until the water runs clear. Some cooks may choose to skip this step since soaking the beans also serves to wash them, but a preliminary rinse will result in a cleaner bean. Fill the pot until the beans are completely submerged—there should be about 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) of water above the uppermost layer. Use cool or lukewarm water only, not cold.  Unless you’re preparing them in bulk, it will be easiest to soak all of your beans at once. Breaking them up into multiple batches can be quite time-consuming. Beans expand as they absorb moisture, so make sure you choose a container that’s large enough to account for any changes in size. Cover the beans and let them sit for at least 8 hours. For extra soft beans, you can soak them for as long as 24 hours. The longer the soak, the more indigestible sugars will leach out of the beans.  Softer types of beans like lentils and chickpeas may only need to spend a few hours in water, whereas hard-shelled varieties like black beans will benefit from a longer soak.  If you’re running out of countertop space, make room for the bowl or pot in the refrigerator. Once you’re satisfied with the amount of soaking the beans have done, uncover them and pour out the water (you’ll likely notice that it’s turned a dingy color). Give the beans another quick rinse, then refill the pot with fresh water to begin cooking them.  A traditional soak is useful for when you have plenty of time on your hands, or if you’d rather take care of your prep work in advance and save time putting together the finished meal. Never use the same water to cook as you did to soak. This will just reintroduce the same dirt and starchy byproducts back into the beans.

One-sentence summary -- Check the beans for rocks. Rinse the beans. Place the beans in a large pot or bowl and add water. Soak the beans overnight. Drain and rinse the beans.

Problem: Article: Scientists research and develop flu vaccines that are designed to prevent infection from the most likely strains of flu viruses. Every year the vaccine is different, so getting it one year does not protect you for the next round of flu season. Getting the flu vaccine is key in controlling the spread of the flu. The flu vaccine protects you from the flu, not from other contagious illnesses you may be exposed to. Upper respiratory illnesses, like a cold or the flu, are spread from person to person. A common way these illnesses are spread is by touching someone or something that has been contaminated with the virus. Wash with warm water and soap placed in the palm of your hand. Lather your hands by rubbing them together for at least 20 seconds. Be sure to cover all surfaces of your hand, including between your fingers, under your nails, and your wrists. Then rinse your hands well, use a paper towel to dry, and use a towel to turn off the faucet. Discard in the towel in the trash can.germs off your hands by wash Squirt gel into the palm of your dry hand. Rub your hands together covering all surfaces until the gel dries. This takes about 15 to 20 seconds. The flu virus can be spread by someone sick as far as six feet away. Coughing and sneezing creates tiny droplets that can travel through the air, landing on someone’s hands, their mouth, nose, or inhaled directly into their lungs. Door knobs, desks, pencils, and other objects can carry the virus germs from one person to another. Once you touch an object that has been contaminated with the virus, it is easy to then touch your mouth, eyes, or nose. This provides a way for that unwanted virus to enter your body. The flu virus can live for two to eight hours on surfaces. If you get sick, avoid contact with other people until your symptoms improve or your doctor says you are not contagious. In the United States, estimates show that between 5% and 20% of the population get the flu every year. More than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year for complications and, each year, thousands of people die. The elderly, babies, pregnant women, and people that have compromised immune systems, or have asthma or other lung diseases, are at the greatest risk of developing complications. Protecting yourself from exposure, and preventing exposure to other people if you do get sick, can possibly save lives. Try to stay in an isolated room at home, separate from other family members (especially kids) to avoid spreading the illness. Don't go to work or school, and don't send your children to school or daycare when they are contagious. Coughing and sneezing into a tissue, or even into the bent part of your arm near your elbow, is better than spreading the infected droplets into the air. Bed sheets, towels, dishes, and utensils should be washed carefully before being used by other people.
Summary:
Get the flu vaccine yearly. Wash your hands. Use soap and water. Clean your hands with alcohol gel. Avoid contact with people that are sick. Be aware of surfaces you touch. Protect yourself and other people from exposure. Stay at home, isolated from other people. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Avoid sharing items.
