bilharsia
hi, we lived in africa up to 1995 and had limited contact with fresh water. we were told that the risk was only in water that was slow moving or still, such as lakes canls etc and that the faster the fresh water was flowing the lesser the risk that the worm could get a grip on the skin. is this true or not. <br><br>thanks for your informative site<br><br>martin mac mahon<br><br>
dear martin<br>any water that will hold the host snails will potentially be able to carry bilharzia. if you are worried, go for the antibody blood test. <br>seehttp://www.escargot.ch/personel/schisto.htm
1. there are various diseases like cholera, malaria, jaundice, typhoid, diarrhoea which are water-borne diseases. the provision of safe drinking water and proper sanitation can prevent the spreading of these diseases.
2. this could be done through various educational programs promoting healthy and better standard of living for people sponsored by the government agencies and active people’s participation.

example- cleaning of rooftops and water coolers to make sure there is no breeding of mosquitoes. there should not be any stagnation of water in and around the house. these are some of the measures which could control many water-borne diseases. The Boston Globe reported a shark sighting fourteen hours ago at Martha's Vineyard. There has been a record number of shark sightings this summer on the coast in this area (including the Vineyard, Nantucket, and Cape Cod).   

  

But that doesn't mean you and others are unsafe swimming. Stay in shallow water. If you see seals, stay well away from them. Keep an eye out for swimmers in trouble (which is good policy all the time).   

  

I've vacationed in the area dozens of times. Jellyfish are fully visible and have never been a problem when I swam. Just don't go in if you see them. last sunday i along with my friends decided to go to the riverside for a picnic. we planned to spend the whole day there, but an unfortunate event took place. we got an unknown call from somebody who introduced himself as our well-wisher. he cautioned us to avoid staying for a longer duration at the riverside for a picnic because there was a fear of a crocodile near the riverside. but, we were not sure whether it was a hoax or real news. nonetheless, there was no chance of taking a risk. hearing this news, we all became tensed and started looking for an alternative location for the picnic. but, we had already travelled for four hours to reach this destination and then the fear of crocodile was making us tremble with fear. all our excitement and happiness were reduced to zero and we couldn't think of anything better than keeping all our things back in the car and making our way towards our respective homes. therefore, the day which was supposed to be a happy and exciting one turned out to be a sheer waste for all of us and we all returned back with a sad face cursing the very presence of crocodile near the riverside. brief answer: a picture would help detailed answer: hello, i understand your concern. it sure does sound like dermatitis. it could also be some kind of scalp parasite. however, without a picture i am not able to say much. so please upload a picture and also do provide some more information as to... just be careful afterwards when eating, you don't want to pop out the clot and get dry socket. i had that and wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. phylum platyhelminthes (flat worms) -

i always laugh when i see a scene like you described! scabies most likely spread from person to person because of bad habits and poor hygine. see more... i honestly thought it was a bit drying. think it's because it's so heavily frangranted. i will stick to my biolage matrix! good luck. i know hormones can affect how wet a female gets, for example taking the pill. did you recently go on the pill or start other hormone based contraception?
