Like Poison Ivy
I have doveloped a rash on the inside of my legs by knees that looks like poison ivy but I haven't been in contact with any. it started about a week or so ago and was small red bumps. Then they started turning into pustular bumps that itch like crazy. It has spread up my legsand looks nasty. I am trying to figure out what it is. I think it was initially caused by a lotion but did not know if an allergic reaction would go this far. Any ideas?
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Hello, I've just found out that I may have been exposed to Carbon Monoxide for the last three months, due to a fault with our gas boiler. I live with my sister and we have both had symptoms of low level poisoning. The boiler was fixed on Thursday therefore does anyone know if there is a test my doctor can do to check Carbon Monoxide levels in my blood, or is it too late now?
Thanks

SUSPECT OF FOOD POISON
hiya everybody
From yesterday I have mild fever, stomache, nausea, diarrea and I cant eat anything at all. I was perfectly allright the day before, my partner has suddenly the same sympthoms so we suspect to have a food poison after we re-heated some chinese food.
What should we do, take some anti nausea-diarrea or should we go to see the doctor?
thanks for any help

pill and food poisoning
after unprotected sex I took my pill at the right time. But last night i had a bad bout of food poisoning with subsequently meant my pill didn't work (vomit etc). I waited 11hours to take the pill again from a reserve pack and then again (paranoid) took another this afternoon. Could ovulation have occurred in the 11hours that I was sick? I'm a lot better now but i'm just worried as to whether i should go to get emergency contraception or not.
