How do I treat these terrible blisters on my feet?

Last night I went out and wore high heel shoes. Usually when I go out with heels, I’ll have sore feet but never blisters like these! On the ball of my left foot, is about a 1 inch line of blister starting from my middle toe ending on my pinky toe. It is probably about 1/4 inch wide. It is white and hurts very badly. On my right foot, it is more round and about the size of a dime, also on the ball of my foot. While walking a few minutes ago, I felt this extreme pressure and then water filled my flip flop, meaning it had been popped. So one blister is popped, one blister is not. I can barely walk and my first day of class is tomorrow. Should I use peroxide to sterilize the blisters? Should I pop the one on my left foot? I bought some band aids specifically for blisters. Some websites say use peroxide, some don’t so that’s really my question.

I hear that rubbing neosporin is good for it and let it get lots of air. The worst thing is to pop it.

I’m planning a winter wilderness camping trip this year and i was wondering if you could give me some idea’s?

These are the items i’m bringing with me so far, maybe you could give me some more idea’s.

Why are you bringing both a hunting knife and a multi-tool with a built in knife? This seems redundant. And consider changing our your hemp rope (will absorb water) w/ a nylon rope.

Some other things:
- hat and gloves
- layered clothing (long underwear, fleece pants and top, fleece jacket, windproof jacket – no cotton)
- backpacking stove with fuel (white gas/Coleman fuel type stoves may work better in the cold than the canister types)
- for eating utensils try only bring a large thermal mug and a spoon – the cup can act as a bowl and a cup and the spoon is a very versatile utensil and take the place of a knife to cut soft stuff and spread stuff like a knife – the fork is just redundant.
- skis or snowshoes
- a sled to put your stuff in and haul (I have used a modified “kiddie” sled in the past

Questions about university?

I dont do alot of activitys, so ive started doing swimming and im going to start doing a first aid course. Is there any other things that i can add to my cv?

Universities like the extra activities. Put it this way; if you applied for a course, and another person did the same, and both of you had the same grades, but he/she did more activities, the uni will accept him/her.
BUT, they aren’t that important, only do them if you 1) have spare time and 2) you feel that your performance in class will not be effected.

You can try volunteering, universities LOVE that.

About you being shy, erm, it’s only hard to make friends if you do not talk to people. You won’t make friends by staying quite all day.

Describe the symptoms and first aid procedures for a.) Fractures, b.) Strains and sprains?

The signs and symptoms for a fracture can be remembered using the acronym PLUSDICT:

Pain
Loss of Power and/or Movement
Unnatural Movement
Swelling and Brusing
Deformity
Irregularity
Crepitus (CRUNCHING!)
Tenderness

To treat a fracture, the area surrounding the fracture should be stablised using rolled-up clothing or anything which will protect it from movement; and you should treat for shock by raising the legs.

A strain or sprain can usually be detected by using the patients history; what happened before the injury occured. There is usually pain; swelling and poor movement in the direction of the foot. RICE is used to help remember the treatment:

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

blood test question,10 points.?

((excuse my english))
I had two sexual partners in my life in 2008 and now that i am single, i was wondering what all do a blood test can detect? or what else can I take to know i am 100% clean? my ex boyfriend which was my first sexual partner had herpes but I don’t have it,and I let him get an AIDs test too which he was clean but my other ex told me he never had sex without condom and i was the first one he had sex without condom.he is only 19 so i doubt he had many parthners. so I am not completly worried but still i want to take a test. so what all a blood test can detect?

Blood tests can detect a lot of stuff, but the thing is that you have to specify to your doctor WHICH tests you want them to run on the blood – they don’t automatically test for everything. For instance, most “complete” STD tests don’t test for Herpes – usually just gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV. There is no FDA approved test for men to detect HPV unless there are visible warts. Therefore, a PAP is required to test women for HPV. Herpes can be tested through a type specific blood test, but again, in must be requested by the patient. Condoms don’t protect 100% from HSV and HPV because they are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact, not through bodily fluids. 1 in 4 women have HSV and 1 in 2 have HPV. And 90% of the people who have Herpes don’t know they have it. So, many people think they are “clean” and are mistaken. It is good that you are concerned. Definitely go in to your doctor and get tested. Just remember to get a list of what they are testing you for. Sometimes doctors don’t explain it well enough to patients which causes confusion. Ask for a hard copy of your test results. Good luck!

Local high schools, YMCA, and the Red Cross chapters usually provide certifications. Your best bet is to contact the red cross. They usually run programs through high schools or colleges. Hurry up though, i know that the first of the sessions for training has already ended. I believe you have a shot of signing up for sessions that i believe start in June. Good luck. lifeguarding is a blast.
