Do Active Dry Socks completely eliminate blisters?

SecondWind - Active Dry Socks FAQ
Socks are not the only cause of blisters, so no sock manufacturer should make the claim they can prevent 100% of all blisters. Blisters caused by socks usually develop because the socks do not fit right or they become wet. Moisture changes the slipperiness or stickiness (coefficient-of-friction) of the skin, sock, top of the insole and the inside lining of a shoe. Blisters form when the skin rubs, sticks or slides too much inside the sock.

Why do you use cotton on the outside of your Active Dry Socks?

SecondWind - Active Dry Socks FAQ
Since all shoes are made differently, we could not count on the materials inside the shoes to prevent moisture from returning back to the skin. Moisture has no adhesion to our Drymax fibers, so it moves through the inner Drymax layer until it finds something (in this case, the outer cotton layer) to absorb it. We put a layer of cotton on the outside of the sock to attract & hold moisture away from the skin.

What is SOCKS?

What kind of socks should I wear?

Shin splints - shin splints running shoe guide
Shin splints are not caused by wearing the wrong socks! Wear whatever is comfortable to you but in general stay away from cotton socks. Cotton absorbs moisture and keeps it next to the skin. Moist skin is more vulnerable to friction blisters. Synthetics like Cool-max are better at removing moisture and keeping the skin dry and more comfortable. As for the thickness of the sock, go for whichever is most comfortable to you.

K1. How can I use fetchmail with SOCKS?

The Fetchmail FAQ

What is Dry Mouth?

Fresh Breath Clinic | Bad Breath + Halitosis Treatment | Tor...
Oral dryness can be the result of insufficient production of saliva. More often, we find that the dry and pasty feeling described by our clients is a response of the tongue and tissues of the mouth to an increased VSC production. Once the oral bacteria are reduced and their by-products eliminated, the sensation disappears and there is no longer a complaint of oral dryness.

What should I do about a tobacco that's too dry?

G. L. Pease - Frequently Asked Questions
My method is to put the tobacco in a large, clean bowl, and cover the bowl with a damp towel. The towel should not touch the tobacco. Check the tobacco every couple hours, and when it reaches the moisture level you like, store it in an airtight container. Glass "bail top" jars work well, but be sure to clean them thoroughly. (See the next item on mold.) Different tobaccos take up moisture at different rates.
