But only if water is clean - on public beaches there are many different microorganisms and scratches here is better not to wash. And with deep cuts, stab wounds and gunshot wounds water treatments are contraindicated in any waters.

" In water, the risk of reflux increases, since the person is in a horizontal position.



3. Do not walk in the wet smelting (TRUE)

"The dark baseball cap can protect the head only from sunburn. From sunstroke, which is a kind of heat, dark fabric protects bad "- says MD zav¬kafedroy Human and Animal Physiology of Moscow State University Andrei Kamensky. Black baseball cap absorbs the rays and thus heats up, transferring heat to the head.

When burning wood emits toxic carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide vapors as well as mutagenic and carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In addition, particulates in the smoke amount is less than 10 microns, and therefore easily penetrates through the protective system of the lungs alveoli. But drastic harm one or two evenings by the fire will not cause.

"Noxious compounds in the smoke from burning wood is much less than, for example, in tobacco smoke" - soothes MD, deputy director of the Institute of Pulmonology, Sergey Avdeev. Besides outdoor concentration of these substances in the air are small.



6. If the place to scratch a mosquito bite, it will itch even stronger (but)

Touching activates the proteins at the site of the bite-messengers of the immune system, and skin irritation is enhanced.

TIP: Freeze the bite, enclosing a jar of cold cola or an ice cube. Lower temperatures slow chemical reactions in the body and inhibits signaling from irritable skin area to the brain. If itching from the bite can not be tolerated, smazh bitten place alcohol camphor alcohol or camphor ointment.

"The external auditory meatus is tortuous, so water can get stuck in it," - says audiologist, otolaryngologist Scandinavian Health Center Elena Avdienko. Try to straighten the ear canal (not all of course). Cocking his head, massage the tragus (the small hryaschik before opening the external ear canal) or pull up and back ear, holding the cartilage over the lobe. The main thing - do not overdo it. If you tear off the ear, we currently do not forgive.

"Experts recommend tasting the drink, temperature is 10-14˚S" - said Professor of Moscow State University of Food production Dmitry Karpenko. This, of course, a good beer, the taste of which is not necessary to mask the cold.

For example, in the Karakum Desert nomads simply was not possible to quickly cool boiled (to disinfect) water.

TIP: Hot tea can be drunk in the heat in order to sweat harder, because due to the evaporation of sweat from the skin of a person easier to tolerate the high temperature of the air. However, we should not forget that, together with the sweat you lose moisture, and therefore, after a hot beverage to drink want faster than after a cold soda.
