Question
Hi... I am looking at your hand held nebulizer medication bottles item #3844SCHDM.I am wondering can they be purchased individually. Only need between 4-6 of them depending on the price. I want to make sure them nebulizer tubing connects on the side as show in the picture and not on the bottem as most of the newer ones do. The patient I need it for is on a vent and the bottles that connect at the bottem do not work well for this patient.Thank-youJJJoanne Jaime

Question
Dear SirsI live in Italy and precisely in Venice, which is so so humid and i have big problems with wetness and odor.actualy, i use a deodorant in spray form, from Roc-Keops but it is not useful at all.Would you please be so kind and help me to chosse the best product for my problem?Many thanks and best regardsMojgan Salem

Answer

Dear Mojgan:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Under arm odor is caused by bacteria that grow in humid conditions that exist under your arms and on your body.  One of the best means of treating bacteria is to disinfect it with alcohol.  Alcohol is found in abundance in perfumes and colognes.  Try applying perfumes directly onto the under pit of your arm.  Try it for a week and see if it helps.  Regular deodorants have a tendency to prevent sweating by blocking pores, which in turn leads to overheating and sweating elsewhere on your body.  Becareful not to apply too much perfume as it may lead to burning sensation, redness and rashes.  Good luck.
