Getting rid of fever blisters, when you have one, becomes an obsession. They are ugly as sin, hurt like hell, and come with a built in “will not get you laid” guarantee. And like anything else that has a tendency to show up on your face, they never show up when you have a week [...]

Get Rid of Heat Rash
May 22, 2009 – 8:08 pm
I’ve been struck with heat rash a few times. It happened more when I was younger and heavier…but holy hell…what a pain. Every time it’s happened to me it’s been between my thighs when I was far away from anywhere or anything that would help me get rid of heat rash. It hurt so damn [...]
Get Rid of Heartburn
April 7, 2009 – 5:15 pm
I’m well-acquainted with heartburn. As a lover of food, alcohol, and almost all other things consumable, I have often inadvertently acquainted my esophagus with my stomach acid. I also have asthma, and apparently asthma and heartburn have some kind of mysterious evil partnership. I’m lucky, however, in that my heartburn is usually relatively mild. It [...]

Ah, bacterial vaginosis: the basis of all those jokes my guy friends told in college. You know, the ones involving tuna. And vaginas. Right. Anyway, those jokes always made me vaguely paranoid. I was pretty sure my vagina didn’t smell like fish, but who could be sure? It’s not as if my nose and my [...]
Get Rid of Spider Bites
February 8, 2009 – 5:33 pm
Spiders are ishy. They’ve got too damn many eyes, too damn many legs two too many damn fangs. I just can’t bring myself to like them. Even worse than the spiders themselves is their bite. Nothing ruins a nice walk in the woods with a nice rest on a fallen log like a spider bite. [...]

Urinary tract infections: scourge of honeymooners and college freshmen alike. There are many different causes of urinary tract infections, but often they are caused by “vigorous sexual intercourse” that introduces bacteria into the urethra.
