Doggy dust could be a good thing

It suggests babies raised alongside dogs develop fewer allergies and infections. A mix of microbes, or germs (many of them harmless), infests house dust, the scientists note. Home ...

Infections
... There are ways to treat these infections. Ways to treat yeast include creams or salves. There are medicines (called “suppositories”) that can be placed in the vagina. But, if your blood sugar stays high, the infection might come back. Your doctor may give you medicine (called “antibiotics”) to fight ...
