Writing Notes: Poison Ivy & Poison Oak

Poison ivy and poison oak - plants that cause an allergic skin reaction in most people who are exposed to them.

Poison Ivy - generally thought of as a climbing vine, can also grow as a shrub or bush.

It has leaves that are elliptical in shape and grow in groups of 3 on a stem.

Common in the US, except in the southwest, Alaska, and Hawaii.

Poison Oak - grows as a shrub

Has leaves that are shaped like oak leaves and grow in groups of 3 to a stem.

Common in the US, especially on the west coast from Mexico to Canada.

Symptoms

The symptoms for poison ivy and poison oak are the same.

Usually the first symptoms to appear are: itchiness and

swelling in the areas of contact.

The itchy rash that follows is made up of small pimple-like bumps (sometimes referred to as papules), as well as

blisters that later break open, ooze, and crust over.

In most cases, the condition goes away in 2 weeks.

Not everyone is sensitive to poison ivy and poison oak.

However, 9 out of 10 people who come in contact with either of the plants will have an allergic reaction to some degree.

All parts of the plants are poisonous and the amount of time it takes for an allergic reaction to develop varies from person to person.

The extent and severity of the reaction depends on the length of exposure, type of contact, and how sensitive the person is to the plants.

If a person is going to have an allergic reaction, it will usually occur within one or two days of exposure. However, some people have a reaction within an hour, whereas others don’t experience a reaction until 5 days after the exposure.

Causes

The substance that causes the allergic reaction is the same for both plants. It is an oily resin called urushiol.

It only takes a small amount of the resin to cause a reaction.

The resin can be transferred to the skin by directly touching the plant or indirectly by coming in contact with something that has touched the plant, such as tools, animals, or clothing. Although animals are rarely affected, they can carry the resin on their fur and transfer it to humans.

According to the experts at the University of Maryland Medical Center, the ‘‘chemical [resin] can remain active for more than a year.’’

Treatment

Anyone who comes in contact with either plant should wash the exposed area with soap and water immediately.

Taking a bath immediately after contact is not recommended, because that could spread the resin to other areas of the body.

All clothing, including shoes and shoelaces, should be removed carefully and either washed separately or discarded.

For minor cases, hydrocortisone cream and Calamine lotion can provide relief until the symptoms disappear.

Over-the-counter Benadryl capsules help with the itching.

Some people find oatmeal or baking soda baths to be soothing as well.

Oral steroids, such as prednisone, are available for more serious cases, especially those affecting the face, eyes, mouth, or genitals.

If signs of infection develop, such as pus and a fever, patients should contact their doctors.

Patients should consult their physicians before they use any ointments that contain benzocaine or zirconium, because they can cause an allergic reaction that worsens the condition.

Antihistamine ointments are not recommended for the same reason. The experts at the Alabama Cooperative Extension System caution that ‘‘some people have severe allergic reactions to these plants and can have swelling in the throat, breathing problems, weakness, dizziness, and bluish lips.’’

Emergency medical care should be sought if any serious reactions occur.

Prevention

The best prevention is know what the plants look like and to avoid them.

A common saying should be kept in mind: Leaves of three, let them be.

People who plan to be in an area where poison ivy and poison oak might be found should wear protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts and long pants.

Eradication of the plants should be handled with care.

As stated by the experts at the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, ‘‘burning can be dangerous and is not recommended for disposal or as a control measure, because the toxic oil from the plant can be carried in the smoke.’’

Instead they recommend spraying the plants with glyphosate, which is commonly known as the brands Roundup or Kleenup.

OK OK

This is an overview of a Creep AU I have

@sp00kywrites thank u for asking me about it :)

Creepypasta Mafia (?) AU

Ok so overall idea

The world is divided into 2 smaller worlds that kinda co-exist. These worlds are the human world and the monster world. They aren’t on 2 separate plains if reality but more or less one is invisible to the other, if that makes sense

Some monsters interact with humans and some humans interact with monsters, but it’s normally all about business. Relationships are often looked down upon.

Slender owns a massive company that was given to him through the family (the other slender brothers do have stuff going on). It’s one of the largest companies in the world and has monopolies and shit. His mansion is in Alabama (where marble hornets took place) but he has warehouses and ports throughout the country.

Most of the creeps can be hired to do certain stuff. Like Jeff is a trained assassin, BEN is really good at stealing and getting info, Jack often is consulted for medical stuff, etc (I think a cool idea would be LJ owning a huge circus and being mega rich). Most of them have bases in certain areas, but they all have ventured into Slender Woods at some point.

I have 2 OC’s for this AU. One is a demon and the other is a shadow person. Lola, a shadow person, is an assassin. Not to big and they don’t charge much, but their name is known I guess. Lyssa is a demon who owns what’s called the ‘New Orleans Port’ (it’s basically just a massive port and makes her a shit load of money).

That’s all for now, but if you want a certain character in more detail lmk

[muskmelon-enjoyer-199x]

it's officially november 2024. I can't believe ive been on HRT for 10 years. I want to feel accomplished, but I don't.

Im just kind of sad about things. I had to do so much stupid shit that I never wanted to do and jump through so many hoops and wait for so long and hurt myself a whole lot and pretend to be someone else at appointments just to get these meds, and I still have to do it all the time. It just blows. Sometimes, they don't even bother giving me the correct dosages. They laugh and cut the dose, or they just don't send the refill into the pharmacy for a week. "An error." One time, I called the insurance company refill hotline in desperation. The guy that answered the first time was in Alabama and he just said my meds were too dangerous to refill and hung up. The second guy was in Minnesota, and he said similar but tried to justify himself. Apparently, there was a serious risk of cervical cancer. I told him i didn't have a cervix to get cancer in because I have a penis and that I felt ill without my meds, but he told me we still couldn't rule out the risk. Whatever. I will spend my whole day's wages on price-gauged meds online. I don't care. I will order more if I have to. I will take them without blood tests if you don't put in my lab orders. I will lie to you and stop taking my meds the night before my test if I know you are just going to say my estrogen levels are "dangerously high" every time I go in. I'll shut my mouth if you're just going to tell me I know nothing about this treatment I've been doing with and without medical supervision every day for 10 years. I don't care. Why do I have to do this shit?

I lost all my before-times friends because I was a total asshole and didnt care about anything, and then the rest left for other reasons. They either didn't like my lifestyle or just drifted away because I had to move 100 miles away to even get a realistic chance to transition. Everybody but my wife leaves. I love her so much. Even other trans people leave. They get caught up in their own problems and ghost me, or i get caught up in mine and ghost them. Some of them aren't alive anymore or probably aren't alive anymore. Nobody cares how you felt about them or how much you trusted them, though. To them, they're just names on a screen. They never understand how it feels, for some reason. It's weird having to socialize online out of necessity and then having the value of those relationships diminished by people who reject you categorically. I feel like those relationships were often realer, anyways. She couldnt make eye contact with you, but she was in our chat talking about wanting to die and boys she wished gave her the time of day. Yeah, i mostly called her a fake name. We all have a bunch of them. I still liked her a lot better than you, and she knew way more about me than my parents.

Whatever. I'm tired. Goodnight and happy Halloween and November

It's been 10 years and now I have woman sadness instead of twink sadness. Maybe I can schedule a surgery consult by the end of the year

Whatever

Are you still ttc? Or did you stop/consider other options? And if so, what kind of advice do you have to someone struggling to conceive?

We are not TTC at this time, I’m on Phexxi birth control because I can’t take hormonal birth control. We can’t afford another pregnancy/child at the moment.

We are considering IUI in the future possibly, because all of the funds we had saved up for IVF have gone to my medical care in the past year. I also don’t know what the future of IVF looks like in the US after the Alabama ruling.

Obligatory I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROVIDER just someone who has been TTC for a long time

I have a few pieces of advice:

Surround yourself with people going through similar journeys. If you need LGBT specific groups, FB is a good place to start. TTC and struggling is such an emotional thing to go through and it’s one of the most difficult things my spouse and I have dealt with. You’re not alone.

Try not to schedule sex if you’re conceiving this way. We tried the SMEP method for a while and it added a lot of unnecessary pressure and stress on my spouse.

Make sure whoever is involved in the conception has had at least had basic fertility screening. The gestational prospective parent should have a fertility panel like FSH, TSH, estrogen, androgens, etc tested. If the other parent or a sperm donor is contributing sperm/semen, you can get inexpensive tests that analyze sperm count at the pharmacy. However they can’t tell you the health and motility of the sperm. OBGYNs and MFMs offer pre-conception counseling that usually includes testing.

I’ve heard a lot of people have success with at-home insemination kits, but do your research! There are also cups that work like menstrual cups that can keep sperm near the cervix, and I actually like those a lot.

If you’re like me with PCOS, prescription metformin has really helped regulate my cycle. I also took myo-inositol while I was TTC. ANECDOTALLY I have developed a large cyst on my ovary since stopping inositol.

If you’re under 35 and have been trying for over a year, the recommendation is to schedule an OBGYN visit. If you’re 35-40, 6 months is the recommendation, and over 40 consult right away.

Clue has been a really great tracker app that I’ve used for years. They have TTC and typical menstruation modes, and a pregnancy mode. Their servers are outside the US and cannot be affected by US subpoena requests. They are gender neutral and very accurate in their ovulation predictions, even with my irregular cycle. They’ve tracked me through TTC, miscarriages and my stillbirth.

In the bustling city of Huntsville, Alabama, the roadways are always busy with vehicles commuting to and fro. Unfortunately, with this constant flow of traffic, car accidents are inevitable. Whether it's a minor fender-bender or a serious collision, being involved in a car accident can be a traumatic experience, both physically and emotionally. In such challenging times, seeking the assistance of a skilled car accident attorney in Huntsville, AL can make all the difference.

1. Legal Expertise:

Navigating the complexities of car accident laws and insurance claims can be overwhelming for anyone unfamiliar with the legal system. This is where a car accident attorney steps in. With their in-depth knowledge and expertise in handling similar cases, they can provide invaluable guidance throughout the legal process.

2. Protection of Rights:

After a car accident, insurance companies may try to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether. A car accident attorney acts as a staunch advocate for their clients, ensuring that their rights are protected and that they receive the compensation they rightfully deserve.

3. Investigation and Evidence Gathering:

Proving liability in a car accident case often requires thorough investigation and gathering of evidence. From obtaining police reports to interviewing witnesses and collecting medical records, a car accident attorney has the resources and experience to build a strong case on behalf of their clients.

Many car accident cases are settled through negotiation rather than going to trial. A skilled car accident attorney knows how to negotiate effectively with insurance companies to secure a fair settlement that covers medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

7. Cost-Effective Solutions:

Contrary to popular belief, hiring a car accident attorney is often more cost-effective in the long run. Many attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win the case. This eliminates the financial burden on clients while incentivizing attorneys to achieve the best possible outcome.

State-by-State: What are your abortion rights in 2024?

In June 2022, the United States Supreme Court made the morally bankrupt decision to overturn the landmark 1973 case Roe v.

Why a Local Birmingham Personal Injury Attorney Is Your Best Bet

When you find yourself injured due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions, the path to recovery often involves more than just physical healing. Medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress can all weigh heavily on individuals after an accident. In such circumstances, seeking the right legal representation is crucial, and a Birmingham personal injury attorney may be your best bet. Local attorneys bring a unique set of advantages, from their in-depth understanding of the local legal system to their commitment to helping members of their community.

This article explores why hiring a local Birmingham personal injury attorney is the smartest decision you can make following an accident.

The Advantages of Hiring a Local Birmingham Personal Injury Attorney

A personal injury claim is often a complex and overwhelming process, with various legal nuances that can significantly impact the outcome of a case. A local Birmingham personal injury attorney is equipped with the knowledge and experience to navigate the specifics of the city’s legal landscape. Below are some key reasons why a local personal injury attorney is your best option.

1. In-depth Knowledge of Local Laws and Court Systems

Every state and city has its own set of laws and regulations related to personal injury cases. Local Birmingham attorneys are well-versed in the laws that govern personal injury cases in Alabama, including the statutes of limitations, rules for filing claims, and how local courts handle such cases. They know what works and what doesn’t when it comes to legal proceedings in the Birmingham area.

Moreover, local attorneys often have strong relationships with local judges, court clerks, and other legal professionals. These relationships can help them understand how particular courts or judges may view different aspects of a case, giving them an edge in presenting arguments and negotiating settlements. This local insight is often invaluable when it comes to formulating a strategy to win your case.

2. Personalized Attention and Care

A local Birmingham personal injury attorney is invested in their community and often treats their clients like family. They understand that each case is unique and requires a personalized approach. Unlike larger, out-of-town law firms that may handle a high volume of cases, local personal injury attorneys are more likely to give you the attention and dedication you deserve.

From your first consultation to the final resolution of your case, a local attorney will be there to answer your questions, address your concerns, and provide timely updates. This level of personal care and attention can make the legal process less daunting, allowing you to focus on healing while knowing that your case is in capable hands.

3. Familiarity with Local Insurance Companies

Insurance companies are often the biggest hurdle in a personal injury claim. Many victims are unaware of the tactics that insurance companies use to minimize settlements and avoid paying full compensation. A Birmingham personal injury attorney has extensive experience negotiating with local insurance companies and understands their strategies.

Additionally, local attorneys may have a better sense of how insurance adjusters in the area operate. They can spot when an insurer is offering a lowball settlement and will know how to push for fair compensation. With a local lawyer’s expertise, you’re more likely to secure a settlement that accurately reflects the full scope of your injuries and losses.

4. Knowledge of Local Accident Trends

Personal injury attorneys in Birmingham are often familiar with the common causes of accidents in the area. Whether it’s car crashes on busy local streets, slip-and-fall accidents in specific neighborhoods, or workplace injuries in particular industries, local attorneys are knowledgeable about the risks that residents face every day.

This knowledge allows a Birmingham personal injury attorney to better understand the specific nature of your case and build a stronger case. For example, they may have a better understanding of road conditions or traffic patterns in Birmingham, which can be crucial when investigating a car accident or other injury case. Their familiarity with the area allows them to gather more pertinent evidence and anticipate potential challenges in your case.

5. Trust and Reputation in the Community

When it comes to hiring a lawyer, trust is crucial. Local attorneys have a reputation to uphold within their community. They are more likely to be invested in providing high-quality legal representation because their reputation in the local area matters. A Birmingham personal injury attorney’s name is often built through years of providing fair, reliable, and effective legal services to the residents of the area.

Moreover, having a local lawyer means that you’re more likely to receive word-of-mouth recommendations from people who live in the same community. Personal injury attorneys in Birmingham often work with clients who are neighbors, friends, or acquaintances, creating a strong sense of trust and community involvement.

6. Understanding of Local Healthcare Providers

In a personal injury case, medical records and treatment history are essential to proving the extent of your injuries. A local Birmingham personal injury attorney often has established relationships with local healthcare providers, including hospitals, doctors, and rehabilitation centers. This familiarity can streamline the process of gathering medical records and connecting with appropriate healthcare professionals for your treatment.

Moreover, because these local providers work closely with the attorney, they may be more willing to provide necessary documentation quickly and accurately. This can be crucial when there is a need to gather evidence promptly, especially in cases where the statute of limitations may be approaching.

7. Better Accessibility and Communication

Having a local personal injury attorney means that communication is more straightforward and efficient. When you need to meet with your attorney in person, it’s much easier to schedule a consultation or follow-up appointment if your lawyer’s office is nearby. Additionally, many local attorneys provide their clients with their personal cell numbers or direct lines, making it easier to reach them with questions or concerns.

This level of accessibility and open communication can significantly reduce the stress and anxiety that often accompany a personal injury claim. Knowing that your attorney is just a phone call or short drive away gives you peace of mind and allows for more effective collaboration throughout the case.

8. Increased Focus on Winning Your Case

A local Birmingham personal injury attorney is deeply invested in achieving the best possible outcome for their clients. Because they are not burdened with the high volume of cases that often affect larger, non-local law firms, local attorneys are able to provide more focused attention on each case.

They are motivated to win, not just for their own professional reputation but because they have a direct connection to the community they serve. This drive to succeed means that they will put in the necessary effort to research, prepare, and litigate your case with diligence and commitment.

9. No Need to Worry About Travel or Out-of-Town Legal Fees

Another benefit of hiring a local attorney is the elimination of the need for long-distance travel. Many personal injury claims require meetings, court appearances, or depositions, and working with a lawyer based outside Birmingham could incur significant travel costs. With a local attorney, you won’t have to worry about the added expenses of out-of-town lawyers’ travel fees.

Additionally, local personal injury attorneys often offer flexible payment structures, including contingency fees, which mean that you don’t pay unless they win your case. This can help alleviate the financial stress that often accompanies the aftermath of an accident.

Conclusion

A Birmingham personal injury attorney offers several distinct advantages for accident victims seeking justice and compensation. From their deep knowledge of local laws and court systems to their familiarity with local insurance companies and healthcare providers, local attorneys are uniquely positioned to handle your personal injury claim effectively. They provide personalized attention, offer better accessibility, and work hard to secure the best possible outcome for their clients.

If you’ve been injured in an accident, hiring a local Birmingham personal injury attorney may be the best decision you can make to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Medicare Advantage Plans: What You Need to Know

Medicare Advantage Plans have become a popular choice for millions of Americans seeking comprehensive healthcare coverage. These plans, offered by private insurers, provide an alternative to Original Medicare, often including additional benefits such as vision, dental, and prescription drug coverage. However, for individuals in regions like Medicare Alabama, Medicare Houston, and Medicare Phoenix, it’s essential to understand the factors that make a Medicare Advantage Plan suitable for your needs.

What Are Medicare Advantage Plans?

Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C, combines Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) into a single plan. Many of these plans also offer Part D, which covers prescription drugs. While Medicare Advantage Plans often come with lower premiums than Original Medicare, they have their own costs and limitations that vary by location.

Why Location Matters in Medicare Advantage

The benefits, costs, and network of Medicare Advantage Plans can differ significantly depending on where you live. For example:

In Medicare Alabama, rural residents may face limited plan options or networks compared to urban areas.

In Medicare Houston, the competitive market ensures a wider variety of plans with enhanced benefits, but you’ll need to consider which doctors and hospitals are in-network.

In Medicare Phoenix, retirees often enjoy plans with additional perks, such as fitness programs or transportation for medical appointments.

Key Considerations for Choosing a Plan

When selecting a Medicare Advantage Plan, keep these factors in mind:

Provider NetworksMedicare Advantage Plans typically require you to use doctors, hospitals, and other providers within their network. For instance, in Houston, you’ll find many plans with robust networks of specialists and primary care physicians. In Phoenix or Alabama, the network might be smaller, making it important to confirm that your preferred providers are covered.

Out-of-Pocket CostsWhile premiums may be low—or even zero—you’ll still be responsible for other expenses, such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. Ensure the plan’s annual out-of-pocket maximum is affordable for you.

Additional BenefitsMany Medicare Advantage Plans offer extra benefits like dental, vision, and hearing coverage. Some plans in Medicare Phoenix and Medicare Alabama also include wellness programs or telehealth services, which can be valuable for seniors.

Prescription Drug CoverageIf you take medications regularly, check whether your prescriptions are included in the plan’s formulary and how much they’ll cost.

The Importance of Comparing Plans

Given the variety of options available in Alabama, Houston, and Phoenix, it’s crucial to compare plans based on your unique healthcare needs and budget. Use Medicare’s Plan Finder tool or consult with a licensed Medicare advisor to get personalized recommendations.

Final Thoughts

Medicare Advantage Plans can provide excellent value, but they’re not one-size-fits-all. Residents in Medicare Alabama, Medicare Houston, and Medicare Phoenix should carefully review their options to ensure they choose a plan that fits their healthcare needs and financial situation.

Take the time to research, compare plans, and understand the benefits each one offers. By doing so, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you’ve made the best choice for your health and future.
