Don’t overlook these small red spots on your arm – They could be important warning signs

The United Kingdom is experiencing unusually large scabies outbreaks and doctors urge people to seek medical treatment if they notice red dots on their body and not to ignore the symptoms.

Scabies is an itchy rash caused by mites that spreads through close skin contact. Early treatment is crucial in order to stop the spreading. Anyone can be affected by it.

Some of the common symptoms are intense itching, especially at night, and a raised rash or spots.

Scabies typically causes a rash across the body, not including the head and neck, and often appears between fingers, around wrists, underarms, waist, groin, and bottom.

The young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems can get scabies on the head, neck, palms, and soles. In immunocompromised individuals, a highly contagious form called crusted scabies may cause a flaky rash on elbows, knees, hands, and feet.

According to NHS, the number of cases of people affected by the infection who were diagnosed in hospitals around the country is over 3,600.

According to Prof Kamila Hawthorne, RCGP chairwoman, many people who experience the symptoms refuse to seek medical help because of the “social stigma” surrounding the infection. She said that the number of GP diagnoses was “above the five-year average and rising, with the north of England seeing a spike in cases.”

“While not a serious condition, scabies can be very itchy and irritating,” she said.

“If not properly treated, it can spread and increase a patient’s risk of complications, such as secondary skin infections or make existing skin conditions worse.”

One of the reasons for the scabies outbreak, despite the social stigma attached to it, is the shortage of treatment.

Neighbor asked my daughter to babysit for a week but then refused to pay – I was angry and decided to teach her a lesson

Lucy was overly excited when their next door neighbor, Mrs. Carpenter, asked her to babysit her kids. She knew the kids are naughty, but she found that job challenging and was happy to do it. On top of that, she was promised to be paid $11 an hour and she could finally take that art course she was saving for.

So, after five days of babysitting, having toys thrown at her, and losing a lot of nerves with the little ones, Lucy was anticipating to have the money she was promised for the job well done.

However, Mrs. Carpenter refused to pay her a dime. She said Lucy should have had the agreement about the job in writing and that she taught her a life lesson.

Disappointed, she headed home as tears rolled down her face. When she entered the house, she told her mom that the neighbor refused to pay her. Her mom’s heart broke into a million pieces. Her daughter was enthusiastic about the babysitting and now that enthusiasm was wiped out by the rude neighbor.

In order to calm her down, her mom gave her $200. Lucy didn’t want to accept the money, saying it wasn’t her mom that needed to pay her but Mrs. Carpenter. But her mom urged her to take the money because she deserved it and promised to handle the issue with the neighbor.

The following morning, Lucy’s mom knocked on Mrs. Carpenter’s door. She tried to hide her anger by forcing a smile on her face. “Hi, neighbor” she said. Mrs. Carpenter was stunned to see Lucy’s mom at her door. “What brings you here?” she asked. Lucy’s mom, still smiling, said, “Well, I wanted to thank you for teaching my daughter a lesson.”

“Thank me?” Mrs. Carpenter asked. “Yes, about contracts and trust,” the mom continued. “It’s so important for kids to learn about that.”

Mrs. Carpenter sighed in relief. “Well, I’m glad you understand, because some parents wouldn’t,” she said.

“Like those in the mom’s group on Facebook?” the mom asked. “What moms, what group?” Mrs. Carpenter was puzzled.

Lucy’s mom then told her that she shared what had happened on the group where all the mom’s from the neighborhood were. She explained that Lucy babysat the kids but wasn’t paid anything.

Mrs. Carpenter was shocked. “But what do they say?” she asked as her face went pale.

“Here, take a look. Melissa said it’s disgraceful, and Janet from the PTA? She’s thinking of bringing it up at the next meeting. Apparently, it doesn’t reflect well on our community,” the mom said. “Most of the moms seem to be upset with your act,” she added.

Mrs. Carpenter couldn’t believe the comments. She asked from Lucy’s mom to take the post down and promised to pay Lucy what she owed her.

Lucy’s mom said, “Perhaps next time, you’ll reconsider before giving someone else’s child a ‘life lesson,’ because some mothers don’t hold back.”

That afternoon, Lucy came home with a huge smile on her face and an envelope in her hand. “Look, mom. Mrs. Carpenter called me and gave me my money. She said it was all a misunderstanding and apologized for making me cry.”

Lucy’s mom was glad an injustice had been righted.

Little Johnny gets an F in math

I am sure that there are not many people who favored mathematics at school. Well, dealing with numbers, fractions, percentages, and the rest of the math operations, isn’t quite easy.

Little Johnny seems not to be an exception. His multiplication skills, or lack of them, brought him in trouble.

Pexels

Little Johnny comes home from school and tells his father, ”I got an F in math today.”

His father replies, ”What happened?”

Little Johnny says, ”Well, my teacher asked me, ‘What’s 3 times 2’, and I said 6.’”

The father replies, ”Well, that’s correct.”

Little Johnny says, ”I know. Then she asked me, ‘What’s 2 times 3.’”

The father shouts, ”What the f*** is the difference?”

Little Johnny says, ”That’s what I said!”

If this made you laugh, below is another joke that will make your day.

A couple had been married for years, and the only friction in their marriage was the husband’s habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke.

The noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her eyes water and make her gasp for air.

Pexels

Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping them off because it was making her sick. He told her he couldn’t stop and that it was perfectly natural. She told him to see a doctor. She was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out.

The years went by and he continued to rip them out! Then one Thanksgiving morning as she was preparing the turkey for dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the bowl where she had put the turkey innards and neck, gizzard, liver and all the spare parts and a malicious thought came to her.

She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was sound asleep and, gently pulling back the bed covers, she pulled back the elastic waistband of his underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into his shorts.

Pexels

Some time later she heard her husband waken with his usual trumpeting which was followed by a blood curdling scream and the sound of frantic footsteps as he ran into the bathroom.

The wife could hardly control herself as she rolled on the floor laughing, tears in her eyes! After years of torture she reckoned she had got him back pretty good.

About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his bloodstained underpants with a look of horror on his face.

She bit her lip as she asked him what was the matter. He said, “Honey, you were right. All these years you have warned me and I didn’t listen to you.

“What do you mean?” asked his wife.

“Well, you always told me that one day I would end up farting my guts out, and today it finally happened. But by the grace of God, some Vaseline, and these two fingers, I think I got them all back in.

My husband gave me a rag for our 10th wedding anniversary while his sister laughed – Moments later, karma hit

By
Monica Pop

As she was putting her make-up on, Mary’s heart filled with joy. She was looking forward to the party her husband of ten years was throwing for their wedding anniversary.

His parties were always lavish. He paid attention to details and always made sure everything he did was flawless, so there was no reason for this party not to be as extraordinary as every other one John had ever organized.

Among those who were invited were their family, friends, and their business partners, and of course, John’s sister Lauren, the only person Mary never got along with.

Lauren was needy, greedy, and demanding. She loved to interfere with everyone’s business and often gave suggestions and made remarks that drove Mary crazy, but she never said anything just because she was John’s sister.

Pexels

That evening, Mary put on her new dress, her red heals, and got downstairs to greet her guests. As she expected, Lauren was also wearing red. Mary knew she chose that color on purpose, but she decided she wouldn’t let anything affect her good mood.

As the night proceeded and everyone had a lot of fun, John asked the guests for their attention. He raised a toast and handed his wife a box wrapped in a huge red bow. Mary was eager to open it, but to her surprise, there was a rag inside. She was left in shock and barely said, “What’s this Jon, is this a joke?”

Pexels

As everyone was looking at Mary and her reaction, Lauren started laughing uncontrollably, commenting out loud that her brother finally came to his senses and brought the right gift for his stay-at-home wife. She also mentioned that she received an expensive bracelet from John for her birthday, the one she was proudly wearing at that moment.

John smiled as well and told Mary that it was just a little prank his sister convinced him to pull on her, believing the guests would find it fun. He said the real gift will arrive later that night.

Mary was furious. She felt humiliated and wanted the night to be over as soon as possible, especially because of Lauren’s words and John’s inability to confront his sister for her lousy behavior.

Pexels

In order not to make a scene, she placed the rag on the floor and acted as though nothing had happened.

Lauren on the other hand, kept asking everyone if they liked what her brother bought Mary and wouldn’t let go on the subject.

Moments later, Lauren, who was still laughing, slipped on the rug and fell on the ground, breaking her bracelet and ripping her dress.

Some of the guests started laughing, and Lauren decided to leave the party. As she was getting to leave, the door bell rang. Mary’s real present arrived. It was a diamond bracelet.

Karma really work in mysterious ways.

They didn’t expect this – Single photo goes viral as family is denied booth at restaurant

By

A family was denied the booth at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant although it wasn’t taken at the moment they entered the place. When they walked passed the booth and asked to be seated there, the server said it had already been reserved for someone special.

They weren’t happy with the response as they wanted more comfortable seats rather than the set of hard chairs the server gave them so they tried to convince her to give them booth, but the response was the same.

Since they couldn’t have the booth, they asked to be seated next to it because they wanted to see who the VIP guests would be.

It didn’t take long before the family realized that the booth was reserved for five police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. Wanting to honor the, the restaurant placed five plates on the table with a sign that read, “We remember and honor the five slain police officers, Sergeant Michael J. Smith, Officer Michael Krol, Officer Patrick Zamarripa, Senior Corporal Lorne Ahrens, and Mr. Brent Thompson, who worked for the Dallas Area Rapid Transit PoIice Department, that the Texas Roadhouse restaurant reserved a table for. We thank you for your service. May you rest in peace.” Along the note, there was an American flag.

The family and the rest of the customers were deeply touched by the Texas Roadhouse’s gesture.

Having been killed while protecting the residents of Dallas, the restaurant wanted everyone who walked inside their place that night to know that they stand with police officers.

People started taking photos of the table reserved for the hero officers who had gone above and beyond their duties and lost their lives. They even started tagging the restaurant and recommending others to visit it.

This isn’t the first time Texas Roadhouse to honor fallen officers in this manner.

When 13 American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, a veteran from Port St. Lucie, Florida, reserved a table with 13 empty seats. Touched by the tribute, the restaurant decided to reserve the same time for the next 13 days.

What an honor!

10 warning signs that something isn’t right with your body

The human body is remarkable. According to health experts, when something is off, our bodies provide subtle clues that serve as warning signs of underlying health issues.

If we are able to recognize these signs and take them seriously, we can protect our health and prevent complications. Whether it is a fatigue that we often take for granted, or craving certain food, we should always listen to our body and take the necessary precautions to address any concerns.

Pexels

Experts list some of the most common signs that something isn’t right with our health.

1. Legs that feel like they are crawling: Restless leg syndrome is a medical condition that makes you feel as if something is creeping on your legs. It can be a sign of an underlying issue.

2. Skin thickening: Skin thickening can result from a hormone imbalance, eczema, or allergies. Consulting a doctor is crucial to understand and address this problem properly.

3. Sleeping too much: Hypersomnia, characterized by excessive sleeping, can be caused by various autoimmune disorders. Excessive sleepiness at any time and place should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

4. A change in handwriting and loss of smell: Changes in movement, speech, and writing can be indicative of Parkinson’s disease. Loss of smell can also be an early sign of this condition.

5. Changes in eye color: A white or grey ring around the cornea of the eyes can indicate excessive cholesterol, particularly if you are under 45 years old. High cholesterol levels can contribute to cardiovascular problems.

6. Aggressive behavior: Unexplained aggressive behavior may indicate depression, which doesn’t always manifest as sadness. Mental health is a vital aspect of overall well-being.

7. Craving only salty food: Constantly craving salty foods could be a sign of iron deficiency, anemia, dehydration, or premenstrual syndrome. Proper evaluation by medical specialists is necessary.

8. Fatigue and a low libido: Persistent fatigue and a diminished libido might be indicative of a thyroid hormone problem, which can have a significant impact on energy levels and overall health.

9. Feeling thirsty all the time: Excessive thirst may result from various factors, including the consumption of salty foods. However, it can also be a symptom of conditions like diabetes or pregnancy, so it’s essential to rule out these possibilities.

10. The need to chew ice: If you find yourself constantly craving ice, it could signal an iron deficiency or anemia. Blood tests are necessary to confirm and address this issue.

If needed, always seek medical advice.

Two women in heaven share ‘how I died’ stories — with a priceless twist

By
Kelly White
-

Some jokes are so good, they make us laugh until we cry, and the one below definitely falls into that category.

The twist of this “story” of two women sharing how they died is priceless beyond words.

Read it below:

1st woman: Hi! My name is Wanda!

2nd woman: Hi! I’m Sylvia. How’d you die?

1st woman: I froze to death.

2nd woman: How horrible!

Pexels

1st woman: It wasn’t so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?

2nd woman: I… died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.

1st woman: So, what happened?

2nd woman: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched,and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.

1st woman: Too bad you didn’t look in the freezer—we’d both still be alive!

If this made you laugh, here’s a bonus joke.

A bus full of nuns falls off a cliff and they all die.

They arrive at the gates of heaven and meet St. Peter. St. Peter says to them:

“Sisters, welcome to Heaven. In a moment I will let you all though the pearly gates, but before I may do that, I must ask each of you a single question. Please form a single-file line.”

Pexels

And they do so. St. Peter turns to the first Nun in the line and asks her: “Sister, have you ever touched a p***s?”

The Sister Responds “Well… there was this one time… that I kinda sorta… touched one with the tip of my pinky finger…”

St. Peter says “Alright Sister, now dip the tip of your pinky finger in the Holy Water, and you may be admitted,” and she does what she’s told.

St. Peter now turns to the second nun and says “Sister, have you ever touched a p***s?”

“Well…. There was this one time… that I held one for a moment…”

“Alright Sister, now just wash your hands in the Holy Water, and you may be admitted,” and she does so. Now at this, there is a noise, a jostling in the line. It seems that one nun is trying to cut in front of another! St. Peter sees this and asks the Nun “Sister Susan, what is this? There is no rush!”

Sister Susan responds “Well if I’m going to have to gargle this stuff, I’d rather do it before Sister Mary sticks her a** in it!”

Hilarious!

Braless TV news anchors spark heated debate

By
Monica Pop
-

In an attempt to improve their rankings, an Albanian TV station, Zjarr, took a different approach to news broadcasting by hiring a young journalist who presented the news braless.

Albania, located in the Balkans, Europe, is being considered a conservative country, where about 60 percent of the population is Muslim, so this decision caused a stir on the social media, triggering a huge number of comments by people from the country and beyond.

Despite the buzz this decision sparked, it turned out to be a huge success.

”In Albania, where the news is manipulated by political powers, the audience needed a medium that would present the information like it is – naked,” Zjarr TV owner Ismet Drishti told AFP in 2016.

The nudity the journalist showed was simply a way to demonstrate transparency on television.

”We don’t sell sex, we reproduce the news as it is. It’s both symbolic and good publicity,” said Drishti.

The TV station started this concept in 2016 and has been implementing it ever since, with the host, 21-year-old Enki Bracaj, turning into an overnight star in her homeland.

”Most agree that her presentation style is a bit unconventional, but we are actively working on that. Honestly, it doesn’t seem to be hurting her viewer ratings at all,” a spokesperson for the channel commented.

In fact, it was Enki herself who gave the station the idea of her presenting the news braless when she appeared at the job interview with her blouse open. Reflecting on her decision, Enki said, ”I simply found a way to put myself ahead in this competitive industry.”

She also added that she had consulted with her parents and they supported her, so it made things easier. ”It was clear that if I wanted to succeed, I needed to be brave and offer something different,” she said.

When Enki left the TV station, rumors were that she was not satisfied with the salary, but in reality, Zjarr believed she crossed the line when she accepted a modeling gig for Playboy.

Her replacement, 24-year-old Greta Hoxhaj followed into Enki’s footsteps when it came to her appearance while on the job.

”I worked hard for five years in local television, where I remained unnoticed,” a cheerful and relaxed Hoxhaj told AFP. ”I regret nothing — within three months, I became a star.”

According to Hoxhaj, the way she dressed for TV was a lot more provocative than her everyday style.

It didn’t take long before videos of the Albanian presenters went viral. When they pop up on the social media, they gather plenty of attention and comments from people whose opinions are divided. While some love them others say there should be greater accountability from the media in the fight for respect and equality.

”There are too many women on TV whose necklines are way too low on various shows. In the last episode of AGT, the two women wore dresses that were VERY questionable. Now, I don’t care what women wear in their everyday lives, but TV should have better standards,” someone commented. Another person added: ”It’s pathetic to have accepted such a thing just to be on screen.”

There are also those who don’t see anything wrong with the way the presenters are dressed.

Despite the comments and the critical stance the President of the Union of Albanian Journalists took, saying, “Nudity cannot resolve the crisis in the media, which will do anything to survive,” Hoxhaj doesn’t pay much attention to the comments.

“What matters to me is that I’m doing well, both in my work and in my newfound fame. I live a beautiful life filled with love,” she shared.
