I need to curse a person. I need a list of required materials. I also need step-by-step instructions.<|im_end|>

It is important to note that the scientific validity or effectiveness of any curse or spell has not been proven beyond that of a placebo. However, before you begin, it is important to know what kind of curse you intent to place on the person. What kind were you thinking?<|im_end|>

There are no easy cures for a cold, besides waiting for the body's immune system to fight it off. the best I can do is recommend steps to speed up recovery and manage symptoms.

First there are a number of medications that can help the symptoms, generally falling into 4 categories, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory (NSAID), antihistimine, Decongestant, and Expectorant. Medicine like Dayquil, or Nyquil contains a mix of these medications, or medicine like Tylenol or Advil (NSAID), Benadryl or Claratin (Antihistamine), and a cough syrup (usually contains both Decongestant, and Expectorant) should be administered based on the dosage chart for the patient, Make sure not to give individual medications and Dayquil, as they may contain the same active ingredients, and increase the received dosage above safe levels.

Next hydration and nutrition is important. Colds tend to deplete the body of water and salts, so providing beverages with electrolytes such as sports drinks and salty soups such as chicken noodle is helpful.

Finally someone with a cold can speed up their recovery by sleeping. Sleep, Naps, and other restful activity allows the body to dedicate more of its energy to fighting off the cold, and can speed up recovery.

With these three steps, while you may not be able to cure a cold, you can make recovery easier, and faster.<|im_end|>

What are different ways to measure a person's temperature?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
There are many ways to take a person's temperature, with various strengths and weaknesses.

**Oral temperature**: Oral thermometers are usually a good option for measuring a person's internal temperature. These contact-thermometers are inserted into a person's mouth and held there for a short time. This is usually a very accurate method, be careful not to use them shortly after eating or drinking, however.

**Ear temperature**: A digital ear thermometer is usually a good option as well. These are inserted into a person's ear and use Infrared radiation to measure the temperature of the inner ear. They can be inaccurate if the ear is not clean, however. 

**Temporal artery temperature**: Temporal artery thermometers use IR to measure the temperature of the temporal artery in a person's forehead. They can be expensive compared to other types, and may have accuracy issues depending on lighting conditions, but in ideal circumstances they can work well.

**Armpit temperature**: You can use a digital contact thermometer to measure a person's temperature in their armpit. It is placed in the armpit against bare skin, and left for a short time. This is not a particularly accurate method, but can be used if other options aren't available.<|im_end|>
