This article first appeared on FireRehab.com , sponsored by Masimo . By FireRescue1 Staff When we asked our readers in 2015 whether they’d rather fight fire in extreme heat or extreme cold, the responses were fairly divided. One thing we all agree on is that neither is our first choice. Yet, as one responder said, when the tone drops, you go. Heat-related illness is serious business, and firefighters are particularly at risk when temperatures hit the 90s and humidity hovers around 80 percent.

Whether you’re growing out your beard for the first time or have had one for years, it’s common for the hair on your face to get itchy. Beard itching can be mild, and sometimes you may barely notice it. Other times, every inch seems to itch. It can wake you up in the middle of the night or distract you from important events in your life. Beard hair isn ’t like the hair on your head. It’s called androgenic hair , which means that it’s growth is driven mainly by your testosterone. More testosterone causes more growth and thickness of these hairs. Because of this, you need to take care of your beard differently than other hair on your body. The cause of an itchy beard can range from a minor to a more serious infection: Growing out your facial hair When you shave, you leave a sharp edge on the end of each hair inside its follicle, the tiny tube that contains and shields each hair. When the hair grows out, this sharp edge can scratch the follicle, causing it to itch. When you’re growing out...

Recently by Joseph Mercola: The Guilty Pleasure That Could Save You From HeartDisease Story at-a-glance Recent research indicates some cases of nasal congestion may be alleviated by cooling and decreasing the humidity in the air you breathe The ideal level of relative humidity for sinus health, and to prevent growth of mold and fungi in your home, is between 35-45 percent The vast majority of chronic sinusitis cases may be due to exposure to mold or fungi rather than bacteria, which antibiotics cannot treat. Antibiotics are only recommended for short-term use if your sinusitis is in fact caused by a bacterial infection.

Her story is fascinating! Six years ago, then 18-year-old Jessica Buck found herself in an unfortunate position dreaded by teens everywhere — a pregnancy scare. But as it turned out, the leaking breast milk she discovered coming from her own body turned out to signify a far more terrifying reality.  Her sudden onset of lactation was not, in fact, the result of unprotected sex, but was rather one of many brain tumor symptoms she'd just begun experiencing. In the now 24-year-old British woman's own words, she described her initial shock: 'I had to put tissue in my bra. I was working part time as a retail assistant and kept going to the bathroom, realising that my bra was damp. There was white, milky fluid coming from my breasts. I thought that was something that only happened to pregnant women... I started to put cotton wool pads or tissues inside my bra, which was embarrassing, as I was constantly trying to hide it. I spoke to my mum and asked, 'Is this normal?...

Humans have been visiting naturally occurring hot springs for thousands of years, enjoying the sensation of being surrounded by pleasantly hot water . Hot tubs came into popularity in the 1970s and have only become more common throughout the years as technology has improved. If you're considering a hot tub of your own, there are many reasons why getting one is a great idea. Depression and Anxiety Relief Psychology Today ran a piece by Peter Bongiorno ND, LAc, that outlines the benefits of hydrotherapy for those suffering from depression and anxiety. The water causes our bodies to release feel-good hormones and elevate our moods, in addition to lowering stress hormones such as cortisol. This is especially effective if you follow up a relaxing soak in warm water with a splash of cold water. Invigorating and harmless, this mood-enhancing ritual may be just what you need to feel happy and relaxed. Relief from Chronic Pain Chronic pain affects millions of Americans and can be difficul...

In a general sense, the term “curtain wall” refers to an exterior wall that does not support loads other than its own weight. Curtain walls are therefore nonstructural, and serve solely to protect the building from the elements. Seismic and wind forces on a curtain wall are transferred to the supporting structure at anchorage points, where the curtain wall frame is attached to the building, generally at floors or columns. Although curtain wall systems may incorporate a variety of materials, we will focus on the type that is so ubiquitous, it has effectively become synonymous with the words “curtain wall”: the glazed curtain wall system . Glazed curtain walls usually consist of a metal frame, often aluminum, with infills of vision and spandrel glass . Other materials may be interposed between glazing units, including brick veneer , precast concrete, metal panels, and thin stone. The hallmark of these systems is a focus on large expanses of glass, which shrouds the building in a seemi...
