Why are the kids still scratching?

FAQ about NITMIX treatment and removing headlice naturally
Most living creatures have little mechanisms in their bodies for fighting off anything that invades them. They also have warning systems to tell us something is not right. When we get stung or bitten by a bug a very complicated reaction gets set off which is partly warning, partly healing. Swelling, redness and itchiness are all part of this reaction. With head lice we need to get bitten many times before we feel the itchy bit, some people don't get itchy at all.

What about scratching?

Designsbyindigo for Dazzling Diamonds in Tailormade Designs ...
Scratches more easily if set in a design where there are lots high polish areas. Before platinum made its comeback in the early 90's most platinum rings were finely hand engraved and/or set with pave diamonds. So there were very little high polish areas.

How are they with kids?

The Klee Kai
Klee Kai love kids and do great with them as long as the child has been taught to respect the dog and not tease it. These dogs are small enough that an out of control child could cause serious damage. Most Klee Kai would give a child enough leeway that the child could cause serious damage before the dog could run. Good owners make good dogs. They do seem to have this sixth sense about the intentions of a child and will usually avoid a child with bad intentions.

How do I keep the kitten from scratching up my furniture?

Frequently Asked Questions
It's very important to give the kitten an alternative to scratch. Scratching is cats' natural way of removing old claw sheaths and exercising. Buying a sturdy scratching post would help. Cats are also less likely to rip up smooth upholstery. They find rough fabrics that catch their claws more attractive. You can also minimize the damage if you trim the kitten's claws on a regular basis. We recommend small, scissors-type clippers, not the guillotine type.

How resistant is the blue screen to scratching?

Dark Reader - FAQ
The blue screen is made of plastic and will scratch more easily than a UV screen. However, this does not appear to be an important factor in performance of the Dark Reader - we have had a Dark Reader in use for several years in a cloning lab and it has been used (and abused) on a daily basis. Though the blue surface is somewhat scratched when viewed under normal lab lighting, in operation all but the most serious scratches disappear.

Can Poison Oak Be Spread By Scratching?

Poison Oak FAQ"
What is Poison Oak? Poison Oak can be a bush, vine, root, tree, whatever. My theory is that it is sentient and has a collective, malevolent, intelligence.

What about kids and marijuana?

FAQ's - NORML
Marijuana, like other drugs, is not for kids. There are many activities in our society that we permit adults to do, but forbid children, such as motorcycle riding, skydiving, signing contracts, getting married and drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco. However, we do not condone arresting adults who responsibly engage in these activities in order to dissuade our children from doing so. Nor can we justify arresting adult marijuana smokers on the grounds of sending a message to children.

Should we bring the kids?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Bareboat Charters
Kids are seldom bored on charter. They really get into the sailing and particularly the snorkeling and playing on the beach. We'd advise leaving really young kids at home, though. Those 5 and under who don't know the word "No" could be in danger of catching fingers in winches, etc. Get comfortable floatation vests for all young children - something they won't mind wearing.

Often these little pocket pets develop allergic reactions to the shavings used as bedding in their cage.

My pet is constantly scratching but I do not see any fleas. What could be causing this?

Shoal Creek News (Volume 9, Number 1)

FAQs on Cat Declawing, Declaw Surgery and Feline Scratching ...
Despite their reputation for independence, cats can readily be trained to use a scratching post instead of the sofa, curtains, or rugs. Using surgery to prevent or correct a behavioral problem is expedient, but it is not the wisest, kindest, or best solution for your cat. Cats can be trained not to scratch furniture or other objects. Amazingly, many people do not even know that they should provide a scratching post for their cats.
