Answers
1)   Haha, let it be:) It will go away on its own unless you have allergies or something. But if it gets worse, contact a doctor:) Next time, have him wash his hands;) - Samanta

2)   go to a doctor asap! if you are into pain put some hair spray on the redness for a few days. The discharge however you will want to get looked at - Trouble

3)   I was camping and must of sat in poison ivy! Haha :) Leave it alone. The discharge is just a reaction, so there is no need to to the doctors. Go to the doctors if there is any pain, color change, or the discharge is a green or brownish color.

Good Luck! ♥♥♥ - *smiles*

Question 4
Do many people who get cancer eat processed foods?...  for example ingredients such as sugar, enriched wheat flour, corn syrup, and basically any pre-made foods.
the cancer rate is high in america and this is what many people eat. correlation?
I forgot to add about the excess meat and dairy products that americans also eat

Answers
1)   no, they eat the same food - Sana

2)   Consuming the desired food is crucial for your wellbeing. You can try supplementing your diet with acai berry, it's not solely a widely tested and acknowledged weight loss product, it's a superfood too. There is a risk free trial offered at http://vulank.wellbeinglive.info I've been taking it for three weeks now and it is certainly having an effect!! - Kai

3)   Processed foods are unhealthy in general and contribute to cancer risk, so its possible. It can be from other things such as radiation exposure or even chemicals absorbed in the skin.

I think stress is also a big factor..stress takes the worst toll on the immune system.
But to answer your question, I would think that since nearly all Americans consume foods with these ingredients its easy to say that most cancer patients eat processed foods. I don't know if this contribute to the cancer or not, it's hard to say as everyone's body makeup is different. - Eric

Question 5
do i have tonsilitis? Someone please help!?...  OK so for like the past three days my thought has been hurting like every time i swallow. Well this morning i looked in the mirror and my right tonsil is really swollen. I also have a really bad head-ace and a stuffed up nose. has anyone else had this so i need to get it checked out???

Answers
1)   sounds like tonsilitis I had it that often they took them out, they sometimes have yellow patches on your tonsils where the infection is, if you see a doctor they will give you anti-biotics to clear it up - becca_loo

2)   The suffix "itis" simply refers to inflammation; ergo, I'd say that technically you do, but there could be numerous reasons for it (the strep bacterium, for example). Sure, get it checked. I was 27 when my tonsils were yanked, & for the last 23 years, I've been a happier man because of it. - immattj1
