Q: Soak a clean washcloth, cotton pad, or sponge in warm water and apply it directly to the cyst. Keep it on the area until the cloth or pad cools down. Repeat this action several times each day until the cyst goes away.  The heat thins out the liquid inside of the cyst, which ultimately causes the cyst to shrink and heal faster. The water should be very warm but not hot enough to cause burns. You should barely feel any discomfort when you touch the water with your bare skin. You can also make a warm compress by placing a wet cloth in a plastic bag and heating it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Test the cloth to make sure it isn’t too hot before you put it on your arm. You can also mix 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of Epsom salt into every 2 cups (500 ml) of warm water used for your compress. The salt can speed up the healing process.  However, using too much can also cause your skin to dry out, so you should only apply an Epsom salt compress once or twice a day. Use warm water and a gentle, fragrance-free soap that will not dry out or irritate your skin. It is important to have the area clean, especially if the cyst has opened up and dirt and bacteria can get inside of it. It may be necessary for you to get someone to help you clean the area if it is right in the middle of your back. If you can't get someone to help you, try gently applying the soap with a shower brush and rinsing the area off in the shower. If your cyst continues to be sensitive, you may need to apply products to it to reduce the inflammation. Look for creams that are designed to draw the cyst to the surface, such as Boil-Ease. Some people may also find products such as anti-fungal cream or even hemorrhoid cream helpful. Regardless of which topical cream you try, you should apply a small amount directly over the cyst and cover the area with a clean band-aid. Remove the band-aid the following day and apply additional cream if necessary.  Be sure to follow the directions included with your cream. If you have any questions about the application of your cream, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. If you have a cyst that is painful, it is a good idea to cover it with a band-aid when it is at risk of being irritated from rubbing against your clothes. However, cover it lightly and be sure to take off the band-aid when it is no longer at risk of being bumped or rubbed so that the cyst can breathe. For instance, try wearing a band-aid over the cyst during the day but taking it off when you get home and can have the area exposed to the air.
A: Apply a warm compress. Consider adding Epsom salt to your compress. Clean the area with soap and water. Put topical first aid creams on the cyst. Avoid irritating the area further.

Article: Do not use beans packaged in gardening packets, which have probably been chemically treated. Check the label to make sure you’re purchasing whole and untreated beans which are made for sprouting and eating. Find mung beans at health food stores or online catalogues like Sproutpeople (sproutpeople.org) and Sproutman (sproutman.com). Consider the size of the bowl or jar you plan to soak them in—the beans should fill about ¼ of the container. Mung beans get much bigger once they sprout, so be careful not to use too much. The yield for sprouting mung beans is about 2 to 1, meaning if you use 1 pound of seeds you’ll end up with 2 pounds of sprouts. Run clean water over the beans until it runs clear. They may be dusty, since the majority of mung beans are grown in China and are often left to dry on gravel roads.  This will help protect you from anything which might have been in the soil, like metals and toxins. It will also wash away things like mites that may have made their way into the dried beans. Mason canning jars are a great option, but you can also reuse jars that held peanut butter or pasta sauce, for instance. The beans should fill up about a quarter of your container. Fill the jar partway with cool water, roughly 2-3 times the volume of the beans. Then, cover your jar with some type of breathable lid.  For a homemade option, you can use a piece of cheesecloth secured with rubber band. You could also punch holes into an existing metal or glass lid. You could also purchase a specialized sprouting jar, which is sold with a pre-made strainer lid. If you don’t have cheesecloth or a mesh lid, you can also soak your beans uncovered in a bowl or jar. How long they have to soak will depend on the beans. Generally, larger beans will require a longer soak. You can place the jar on the countertop or in a cabinet—just make sure it’s not positioned in direct sunlight. The beans should be soaking at room temperature, not in the fridge.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Purchase whole, untreated mung beans. Measure out your desired amount of mung beans. Rinse your mung beans using a colander or strainer. Place the beans in a clear, wide-mouth jar. Submerge the beans in water and cover the jar with a mesh lid. Soak the beans for 8-12 hours until they swell up.

Problem: Article: Be careful not to apply too much. Too much eyeliner can actually make your eyes appear smaller. If you want eyeliner with an easier application, use an eyeliner pencil or a gel eyeliner. Line your upper lid with a vibrant eyeliner like bright blue or purple to make your eyes pop and appear bigger. Pair your eyeliner with a colorful eyeshadow to enhance the effect. Choose a colored eyeliner that will pair well with your eye color. Gold eyeliner will make blue eyes pop, while purple eyeliners contrast nicely with green eyes. Use a blue eyeliner if you have brown eyes.
Summary: Use liquid eyeliner for a dramatic effect. Use eyeliner in vibrant colors.

Q: You'll need fishing line, a mouse trap, ring caps, tent pegs, nails, screws, and rubber bands. Use a drill to screw through the mousetrap onto the top half of the tent peg. Use a screwdriver and wood screws to screw them together. The bait pedal is the metal rectangle part that the mouse steps on to release the trap. Drill a hole behind it through the mouse trap. You'll tie a knot over the bait pedal later. If your pop caps are in a ring, cut out individual ones. One should fit over a small nail head. Instead of pop caps, you can use a glow stick. You need to see where it's hitting the wood when it releases. Where the bow hits the wood along the sides, drill a small hole on each side. Hammer a nail in each hole. The head of the nail should face the bow as it swings down. In other words, the bow should come down and hit the nail on the head when the trap releases. If you're using a glow stick, drill four holes. Tie the glow stick on so that the bow hits it when the trap releases. If you want to camouflage your trap, paint the mousetrap and the pegs to match the surroundings. You can also paint the tent pegs before you attach the mousetrap. Securely tie the line to the other tent peg. Hammer the peg into the ground. Make sure the wire is taut across the path. Run it into the back of the trap to the front, and tie it to the bait pedal. Rubber band the tripwire onto the peg and the mousetrap. The rubber band will secure the tripwire. Add a pop cap to each nail head. Pull the bow down to arm the trap. When the tripwire is triggered, the mousetrap will hit the pop caps, making a loud bang. It will tell if a person is walking in the area. If you used a glow stick, the glow stick will light up when hit.
A:
Gather your materials. Screw the mousetrap to the tent peg. Screw through the trap behind bait pedal. Cut out the pop caps. Release the trap several times. Hammer in two nails. Paint the tent pegs and the mouse trap. Tie the fishing line to the other tent peg. Run the fishing line to the bait peg. Use a rubber band. Arm the mouse trap. Leave it to secure your campground or area.
