Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand that HSV-1 infections are common. Recognize the symptoms of the first outbreak. Look for the predictive signs of subsequent outbreaks. Watch for the first redness and swelling. Be aware that the blister is filled with virus particles. Wait for the blister to break. Do not pick at the scab when the blister dries. Avoid spreading the infection while the cold sore heals. Distinguish a cold sore from similar blemishes.

Answer: Up to 60% of Americans have  HSV-1 by adolescence; 85% by the time they reached their 60s. In Britain, about seven in ten people have it, but only one in five are aware of it.  This is because some people carry the infection, but don’t have any symptoms. The symptoms of a cold sore are consistent, but the first outbreak is different. At that time, you'll see symptoms that you won't experience again during later outbreaks. These one-time symptoms include:  Fever Painful or eroded gums if the cold sore is in the mouth Sore throat Headache Swollen lymph glands Muscle aches After your first outbreak has passed, you'll be able to predict when cold sores are going to appear by looking for early indicators. The area where the sore will appear will suddenly feel tingly and itchy. You may also experience some numbness in the area. This stage, also called the prodromal stage, is experienced by 46% to 60% of people who have cold sores. Other early symptoms include inflammation, redness, hypersensitivity or soreness in the exact area the blisters will appear. When a cold sore is first appearing, it can look like the start of a pimple. It will be sore — possibly painful. This area will be red and raised; the skin surrounding the raised area will also be red. You may also notice several small blisters that develop together, then merge as other blisters fill in the area between them. Cold sores can vary in size, ranging from 2 – 3 mm to 7 mm. The raised areas take on the appearance of a blister. As the body fights the HSV-1 virus, white blood cells rush to the area and the blister fills with clear fluid containing the virus. Because cold sores are filled with infectious fluid, you should never pick at them. If you get the virus on your hands, you can spread it around to other people or get it in your eyes, or spread it to your genitals. This is the third and most painful stage in the development of a cold sore. The area will be moist, with a red area around the open sore. This period, when the blister leaks fluid, is the most contagious. Make sure to wash your hands regularly if you touch your face to prevent spreading the infection. It will take up to three days for the cold sore to move to its next stage. After the blister has burst, a crust will form over the top of the blister, followed by a protective scab. As the sore heals, the scab may crack open and bleed. You may also experience itching and pain during this stage. Avoid touching the sore, as you can slow down the healing process by reopening the wound. You remain contagious until the scab falls off naturally to reveal intact, healthy skin. In this final healing stage when the scab falls off, the skin beneath it will be dry and a little flaky. The area may also be a little swollen and red. From the start of tingling and itching until the scab comes off can take between 8 and 12 days.  Be careful not to share glasses or utensils with anybody until the cold sore has healed completely. Do not kiss anyone or place your cold sores into contact with others in any way. Keep your hands off your face as best you can, as infectious fluid can be transferred to you skin. This, in turn, can spread infection to others, or spread it to other parts of your own body. Canker sores and mucositis can be mistaken for cold sores, but aren't caused by the herpes virus.  Canker sores appear inside the mouth, often near where the cheeks/lips meet the gums. People who wear braces can get them where the braces rub against the cheeks. Doctors believe they can have many causes: injury, certain toothpastes, food sensitivities, stress, allergies, and inflammatory or immune disorders.  Mucositis is the term used to describe the sores that appear in the mouth and esophagus during chemotherapy. Chemotherapy kills rapidly dividing cancer cells. But it can't distinguish cancer from the cells in the mouth, which also divide rapidly. The resulting open sores are extremely painful.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your ingredients. Add 1 cup of sugar to a bottle through a dry funnel. Measure out 1/4 teaspoon of fresh granular active baker's yeast. Add the yeast through the funnel into the bottle. Grate the ginger root on a fine cutting grater to produce 2 tablespoons of grated root. Place the grated ginger in a measuring cup. Juice a whole lemon. Add the juice of a whole lemon to the grated ginger. Stir the lemon juice and grated ginger to form a slurry, then add it to the bottle. Rinse the container that held the lemon juice and grated ginger with fresh clean water. Cap and shake the bottle. Reopen and fill the bottle to the neck with fresh, cool, clean water. Place the ginger ale in a warm location for 24 to 48 hours. Test to see if carbonation is complete by squeezing the bottle forcefully with your thumb. Once the bottle feels hard to a forceful squeeze, usually after only 24-48 hours, place in the refrigerator.

Answer:
Here's what you'll need to make ginger ale using the old-fashioned method:  1 cup (225 g) sugar 2 tablespoons (30 g) freshly grated ginger root Juice of one lemon 1/4 teaspoon (1.6 g) fresh granular baker's yeast Cold, pure water Leave the funnel in place until all the steps are complete and you are ready to cap the bottle. Use any brand that you might buy in the health food store. Shake the bottle to disperse the yeast grains into the sugar granules. Use the side of the grater with the finest teeth.  Lemon is important to keep the pH level low and ward off unwanted microorganisms. If you don't like lemon, try grapefruit juice instead.  It may stick in the funnel. Don't worry, the next steps will wash it into the bottle. Add the rinsing water to the bottle. This helps activate the yeast and gets the carbonation process going. Leave about an inch of head space, then securely screw the cap down to seal. The head space is necessary to leave room for gasses that will be produced during fermentation. Invert the bottle repeatedly to thoroughly dissolve sugar. Check the bottom of the bottle because the sugar tends to stick in little pockets there.  The ginger root will not dissolve, of course. The warmth is necessary for the yeast to be able to ferment the brew. But don't forget about it! Too long and the alcohol concentration starts to increase and the taste changes greatly. If it dents in as in the picture, it is not ready; the fermentation produces carbon dioxide (like in sodas and seltzers) that will inflate the bottle and make it difficult to squeeze. Refrigerate at least overnight to thoroughly chill before opening. Crack the lid off the cool ginger ale just a little to release the pressure slowly. You do not want a ginger ale fountain!
