Root aphids are small, subterranean pests that infest several common garden plants, such as asters, sweet peas, primrose, calendulas as well as corn and strawberries among others. Root aphids are smaller than their above-ground relatives and appear pale green to yellow in color. While the insects can be difficult to identify on garden plants, since they spend the majority of their life under the soil, feeding activity from root aphids produces several common symptoms on infested plants.
According to the Mayo Clinic, almost half of the adult population snores. Not only can it become a problem between you and your partner, but it may also indicate nasal congestion, sleep apnea or enlarged tonsils blocking your airway. Mouthpieces are available either through your local pharmacy or dentist office. While some people can prevent snoring with a prescribed over-the-counter mouthpiece, some may need a customized piece to prevent snoring.
Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a viral disease that most commonly affects infants and children. HFMD begins with a fever, loss of appetite and/or a sore throat and after one or two days, small blisters form on the inside of cheeks, tongue and throat. Those carrying the HFMD virus may also develop a rash of small, raised red bumps on the palms of their hands, soles of their feet and/or on their buttocks or genitalia. The infection is spread person to person via contact with saliva or infected stool. The following steps can help prevent HFMD from spreading.
