eyelash growth

I need reccomendations on safely removng shardes of glass that are surfacing after my mirror broke off, shattered and nearly took my head off in a major car accident. I am frustrated because it's causing me to have what looks like acne (except were my glasses were,) but when popped micro pieces of mirror/glass and plastic pieces emerge! I need suggestions on the safest way of removing "shratnel broken glass, plastic & metal" so I and clear up my complexion?! When pieces initially surface they itch and then are painful. You can move the foreign matter with tweezers and sometimes pull it out but not without causing skin breakage which typically leaves scars! I don't want to have scars all over my face. I have tried facial peels, biore, tape, tweezers, washing regularly with hot water, (I swim regularly so moisture isn't an issue) and have asked my sister to try and remove it with usual pimple popping technique. nothing works! any ideas?

My husband was hit by a car bomb in iraq and still has shrapnel coming out of his skin. It may hurt, but his doctors told him just to leave them be. your body will push foreign matter out on it's own, well minium damage to your skin. I'm sorry I can't help with suggestions as to what to do right now about the marks and irritation.

Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Melissa Kellerman

(Credit:Dallas Cowboys) (CBS) – The Dallas Cowboys are raising some eyebrows for forcing cheerleader Melissa Kellerman to delete her Twitter account after she informed fans she was not hurt by a tackle from tight end Jason Witten.

What was the problem? no one knows for sure, but it’s beginning to look like a faux pas.

During Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day game, Kellerman was accidentally tackled by Witten, who is 265 pounds and over 6ft tall. The two fell and rolled on the ground in what looked like a painful tumble for the scantily clad cheerleader. It’s understandable that anyone would be curious if Kellerman was seriously hurt, including her Twitter followers.

She later tweeted the statuses, “I’m not the best at Jason Witten trust falls. ” and “Not hurtin’ today, like some of y’all thought I would be! Our [tight end] isn’t as tough as he looks…That or I’m WAY tougher than I look. ”

Soon after, CNBC reporter Darren Rovell called out the team by tweeting, “Shame on the Cowboys for pulling cheerleader @MelissaRae off Twitter. Not allowing these girls to capitalize is criminal.”

He hit the nail on the head.

National Football League cheerleaders don’t get paid much. I’ve seen reports from $50 to $100 per game. The exchange for the low pay is exposure and potential to be famous. having a Twitter account for personal branding falls under that unspoken trade-off the women make with the football teams.

It’s not like Kellerman tweeted team secrets or plays. it was essentially a joke. even the NFL blog was dumbfounded by the choice to censor Kellerman.

She wasn’t asked to delete a tweet; she had to shut down her Twitter account. Since when did the NFL own their employee’s Twitter accounts? is Facebook next?

Kellerman’s fans are making their voiced heard on the Official Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Facebook fan page. FYI, they’ve turned off their Wall comments, so fans have been commenting on posts.

“Bring back Melissa Kellerman!!! she didn’t hurt the Cowboys image by light-hearted kidding about Witton knocking her down. now the Cowboys look bad by having fired her,” said Ryan Riedy.

There were several comments along the same line, supporting Kellerman. The Cowboys have not commented on the decision to pull Kellerman’s tweets.

There’s a doctor in Laguna Beach, California who’s done the impossible. After 10 years of research and testing, he’s developed a laser technique that will safely turn brown eyes blue. So if you’re tired of being a brown-eyed girl (or boy), Dr. Gregg Homer can make you a blue-eyed beauty in 20 seconds. Fast, huh? Kind of leaves you no chance to change your mind once you’re in there.

You have a year and a half to mull it over, though, and decide whether or not you want to make the permanent change because the procedure won’t be ready for another 18 months.

Doc says that he’s already gotten thousands of emails from people eager to go from brown to blue — guess a lot of people don’t mind paying the $5,000 fee for a cosmetic procedure. but, huh. if you think about it, I guess it’s not really that surprising.

The plastic surgery industry is almost a two billion-dollar yearly business in the US alone, so should we be shocked that there are people already lining up to change the color of their eye pigment? at first I was all, Gasp! What has the world come to?! but after a while, I realized it’s no different than getting a nose job, or a boob job, or hair plugs.

But I don’t know, there’s still something more “icky” about this than other procedures. maybe it’s because the eyes are so personal. Altering the windows to your soul just doesn’t sit right with me. but no matter, Dr. Homer and his patients will be very happy, I’m sure, with their new eyeballs.

I mean, we alter our appearances all the time to try and improve on what we were born with, so hey, if brown-eyers want to become blue-eyers, who am I to judge. More power to Dr. Homer who created this technology. He’s made himself a nice little niche market in the cosmetic surgery world that will likely prove to be very profitable.

You know, you didn’t hear this here, but if you wanna make the switch on the cheap, I’m sure you could drop a drip or two of Latisse in your eyes. Pigment color change is a side effect of that eyelash grower. so blue-eyed people, you can go brown for about $100. Score.

Would you want to change your eye color if you could?

Every time I clean my face eyelashes pop out and every time they are wet. How can I make them grow back? thanks!

be very careful if you use just any cheap brand of eye makeup. for example try using a better a little bit more expensive brand of mascara or eyeliner.
also try to eat healthiierr that also impacts the growth of your hair and how much your hair falls off.

try not using mascara as this hardens the eyelashes and they become more prone to falling out

jus dont use mascara and see wat a difference it will make
also don't apply so much pressure on that area

Maybe eat healthier? Or not rub so hard? Or be extra careful! Do you have like a baldish spot where they were? Tell me and I can give ferther info.

because yur using cheap *** mascara by the time the will grow

Losing my eyelashes?

BANGKOK — Samroeng Verravanich wades through the rancid brown water in one of Bangkok’s many flooded streets. the garbageman plunges a white-gloved hand into the filth, fishes out a slimy plastic bag and slings it into the red basket he’s towing.

“If you have cuts, it can create infections between your fingers,” Samroeng says of the dirty water, holding out a dripping hand peppered with a red rash. “My hands got infected. It hurts and it spreads too — like a virus.”

As Thailand’s worst floods in more than half a century continue to creep into Bangkok, mixing with water bubbling up through drains and spilling over canals, many streets have become floating landfills. Plastic bags overflowing with waste and rotten food cling to boats, cars, motorbikes and people as they slowly snake through inundated roadways. Raw sewage and animal carcasses can be seen bobbing in waters ripe for disease.

No major outbreaks have been reported since monster monsoon rains spawned floods that began swallowing areas north of the capital in late July. but experts warn the biggest health threats will likely emerge in the coming weeks after moving floodwaters subside, leaving stale pools.

“There’s a lot of danger around it,” says mark Thomas, a spokesman for UNICEF, which is assisting with sanitation issues. “You need to keep kids out of the water, and everybody should stay out of the water as much as possible.”

Mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever, are a concern as well as eye infections and waterborne ailments that can lead to diarrhea and severe dehydration.

Skin diseases and fungal infections are the flood’s biggest plague so far, with nearly 100,000 cases of athlete’s foot reported. Bouts of diarrhea and respiratory infections are also common, especially with many flood victims sheltering in hot, cramped sites that may not have electricity or clean water.

Some 110,000 people have been displaced nationwide and more than 400 killed, mostly from drowning, since the waters started inundating millions of farm acres before seeping into Bangkok on their way to the sea.

On Thursday, Bangkok’s governor declared Bang Khae district in the west an evacuation zone, meaning residents in eight of the city’s 50 districts have now been strongly urged to move their belongings to higher ground and leave.

Floodwaters have been spreading faster on the western side of the Chao Phraya river, which winds its way through the middle of the city, than the water creeping down the eastern bank toward the central business district.

Many submerged homes no longer have running water or working toilets, forcing remaining residents to bathe and defecate in the open, often in waters surrounding their homes. that waste can be spread into water where children play.

“We all know the risk is there,” says Dr. Maureen Birmingham, World Health Organization country representative in Thailand. “People get water in their mouths that’s contaminated with feces, and all the diseases that can ensue from that — that’s probably the biggest concern.”

Since garbage trucks can no longer reach many hard-hit areas, brigades of trash collectors have started doing the work in boats or on foot.

On the same street where Samroeng and a colleague cleared rubbish in the northwestern Bangkok district of Bang Plad, 9-year-old Paradorn Junsamlee practiced swimming behind his mom. He smiled and plopped his chubby bottom down on the pavement with a splash, saying he had taken medicine to protect against disease in the floodwaters.

“I’m worried about him getting sick, but you can’t stop him,” says mother Nantana Junsamlee, a soaked T-shirt and shorts sucked against her skin. “I tell him, ‘Every time you swim, you have to avoid getting water in your eyes and mouth.”‘

At a Buddhist temple down a nearby side street, dozens of stranded flood victims waited for a doctor to arrive by boat. one elderly woman says fast-rising waters forced her to flee without her diabetes medication. another needed an injection for anemia.

Outside, two other flood threats were visible — a 6-foot python held in a garbage can after it was caught near the shelter, and a fat 6-inch leech scorched on the temple’s marble stairs by a cigarette lighter.

Thailand has a robust health infrastructure that extends from top-notch Bangkok hospitals that draw foreign medical tourists to an army of 900,000 community health workers who serve their neighbors in even the most remote villages. Childhood vaccination rates are high, which helps prevent fast-spreading diseases such as measles.

But even with all of that built-in support, Dr. Wiwat Wiriyakijja of Thailand’s Health Ministry says he worries the worst may be yet to come.

While unloading boxes of medical supplies at the temple, he says cases of leptospirosis have already been reported. the waterborne bacterial infection, carried in rat and other animal urine, can seep into cuts through floodwaters and potentially kill if left untreated.

“I fear it as well,” Wiwat says, adding that a doctor fell ill with the disease after treating patients in hard-hit Ayutthaya province, north of Bangkok. “It’s very dangerous.”

Samroeng, a 10-year veteran of the city’s sanitation department, says he too worries about catching something from the fetid waters. He and his colleagues walk about 6 miles, seven hours a day, through water that can reach chest-high. they encounter syringes, fluorescent light bulbs that could explode and even chunks of human feces that must be bagged in plastic and taken to dry land for proper disposal.

“I cannot fear getting sick. who wants to have these diseases?” he asks before wading father down the flooded street. “It’s my job. It’s my responsibility.”
