10)   Yes, it is true. Finger nails also continue to grow for a time inside the coffin. These things helped bring about the myths of vampires, zombies, and werewolves. In olden days centuries ago, people would die and be buried and then if/when they were ever dug up again for whatever reason, or the graves were robbed, etc. if the casket was opened, they saw the person had a hairy face and long claws and assumed that they were a monster of some kind and/or back from the dead. Those were the olden days though, before people were embalmed. Nowadays, we suck all the blood out of a dead person and shoot them full of embalmbing fluid. So I don't know if hair and nails still grow on a dead person now like they did hundreds of years ago. - Albert N

Question 2
What could this be? So worried please help me!?...  Hello to all I am a 19 year old female and I am a freckley person mostly on my face and shoulder and back area. I have also got a few moles here and there. But i had a strawberry mole as a child and it got very large i scratched it and it bled for about 3 hrs and at the hospital they tied something around it and it died and fell off. It then came to look like a small mole but over the past 8 months it is growing and looks strange like the dark brown dot is still there but its like there is something growing around it that is light brown it is now about the size of a pencil eraser and was really small. Also i have noticed these tiny red dots on my shoulders upper back or chest i have noticed them for about a year they would come and go away but now i am having somewhat of an outburst of them. and now i have found other red areas that are not tiny dots they are like odd shaped smudges under the skin it is hard to explain. What could all this be I am really worried! We have cancer in family history so it is freaking me out. Also i have this well im not sure what it is that pops up on my forehead every now and then and stays for a couple weeks then goes away again it is a dark brown color of somewhat of a small size it has been coming and going for a couple years now at first it start off as a red color but now it it dark brown maybe dark red what could that be? Should i really be worried about all this???
Also the tiny red dots are not everywhere they are somewhat sporadically placed on my shoulders and chest and upper back. But there is an area on my shoulder that has about 2 of those tiny red dots then these other red smudge like under the skin freckles are popping up in the same area.

6)   Are you into sunning/tanning?

That's how you get them. I found out when I was 12 or so, that grapes turn to raisins, when they're dried in the sun, so I've avoided being out in the sun. I've seen my aunts covered with moles, bumpy ones on their necks, and faces, so that made me want to stay out of the sun more, plus I was always hot when I'm exposed by the sun, so I stayed in the shade.

As I got much older, I still end up getting Discoid Lupus, and I couldn't figure out, and the dermatologist told me, it was from the sun. The mark on my face - purplish looking like someone punch me - after 9 years finally is fading away. But I continue to protect myself using a wide brim hat, even in my car I would use that, and I take it everywhere I go. I am not 100% covered, but it helps to slow down one of my pimple - turned mole on which I flattened out like you did - but during the summer it got bumpy. Three years of that, and this summer it never got bumpy again, but the mark is still there.

The sun, is good for you, but try to avoid it as much as 90%, and the sunscreen lotions doesn't give you that much protection. I hate lotions, so I stick to my hat.

Lindsey Lohan has tons of freckles on her face, shoulder, back, but I think she had her face lazered or just a lot of makeup.

I have cut many of my mom's bumpy (tiny some are big ones) moles on her neck & face. Only one of them bled, but not for long. She died of Paget cancer a year ago, and she looked good w/out those moles. She was a gardener, and used to hang our laundry on a clothes line.

As far as yours, it's going to be expensive to have them removed. You could have a dermatologist check them over, because there are moles that are cancerous. They do GET bigger, as you are exposed MORE to the sun. - W

Question 3
how long is h1n1 contagious?...  Today is my birthday and my mother was planning on watching my one month old while my wife and i go out tonight, but my six year old brother and sister had what my mom thinks was the swine flu earlier this week. Their symptoms didn't last more than a day, and they've both been fine for at least two days, is it safe to let my infant stay at their house for a few hours?

Answers
1)   Forever, Remember to use a condom. - David

2)   yah if your child has gotten the flu shot. if not i would stay on the safe side and either take your baby out with you or find another sitter. - *freakishly amazing*

3)   First, if they were ill for only a day, it wasnt H1N1(most likely). Im a healthy 28 year old, and I had H1N1 and I had it for over 3 weeks and was violently ill. BUT, typically a person is only contagious while they have a fever, once the fever passes, you're ok for the most part. Like I said though, judging from the time frame of your siblings being ill, it doesnt sound like they even had the normal flu. With an infant you cant be too careful though so as long as they are symptom free, they stay away from your baby, and your mom deep cleaned the area where your baby will be lounging and she washes her hands before holding your baby you should be fine.

Happy Birthday to ya! - Mike

4)   h1n1 doesn't last a day, it lasts up to 21 days, from what I heard. Your brother and sister probably had something like a 24 hour stomach bug, but their symptoms would've lasted longer if they had h1n1. At least that's what I heard. - doctorpoo64

5)   No! No! No!
Happy Birthday anyway - Aria

6)   24 hours before symptoms are presented, during the time of symptoms, and some studies suggest up to a week after the fever subsides. - Is it over yet?

Answers
1)   u may need something stronger than OTC, You should make an appt. to see a skin specialist. - O U812

2)   There are thousands of solution why and what, and you won't find the right one for you here.

What's good for them, may not be GOOD for you!

Go to your dermatologist, so she can advice you the best solution, she knows your history, and how to keep them clean and your skin problem solved.

Wrinkles, I can help you on that!
Do you know that grapes when they're young, they're plump and juicy. As they are exposed more to the sun, they become wrinkled & dried, turns to raisins. So avoid the sun as much as you can. Wear wide brim hats and long sleeves, and even in the car have a blanket over your window but when you're riding, use that same hat to protect you from the incoming sun. This will prevent you from getting bumpy moles (if you're dark) or freckles if you're light complexion.
