Sharks have lived among on this earth for over 300 million years. Since the fascination with the movie Jaws starring Richard Dreyfuss in 1975, many people are leery of beaches thinking they may be infringing upon shark infested waters. The truth of the matter is that there are less than a hundred reported shark attacks each year with just a handful of people dying from it. Shark bites are just not very common.
Of the many species of shark, (roughly 400 or so) less than 35 species are known for attacking humans. The sharks in question are usually over six feet in length and the most dangerous species are the great white shark and the tiger shark. Most sharks even the largest ones, normally eat sea creatures, plankton, sea lions, sea birds, sea turtles, other mammals, fish, and invertebrates but not humans.
The shark is an incredible predator, with well developed sense of sight and smell. They also have an organ common to certain species of fish that is sensitive to electrical currents in and around the water. These organs are called ampullae of Lorenzini and they no doubt will be able to pick up on the motion of a human swimming or bobbing in the water.
There are three styles of shark bites
The most common style occurs when the shark will take one big bite but leaves the victim alone after that. Shark experts believe that the attacking shark has mistaken the human for its normal food supply.
Another form of attack is when the shark bumps the swimmer then returns for more shark bites.
Shark bites can also occur without warning, with the shark sneaking up on the victim and then returning later on for more shark bites.
Both “bump and bite” and sneak attacks are the most severe and fatal forms of attacks for humans.
A bump from a shark can result in scratches. The shark skin has the texture of sandpaper containing tooth like structures called denticles. The mighty jaws of a shark contain several rows of serrated teeth which shed and are replaced constantly. Shark bites are either a series of parallel scrapings (cuts) against the skin or a single crescent shaped bite. It goes without saying that a bite from a shark can cause massive tissue damage, or total severance of a limb. It can also be relatively mild in comparison with very little bleeding or nerve damage depending on the species involved. There may be broken bones, and fragments of shark teeth left in the wounds.
Prevention
• Do not swim in shark infested waters; they like the point where the water goes from shallow to a deep plunge.
• Do not go swimming while menstruating, sharks are attracted by blood
• Do not wear shiny jewelry or bright and shiny clothing to attract their attention
• Splashing all about may get their attention and they may consider you their natural food source.
• Do not swim alone, or a dusk, dawn and nighttime. Sharks generally do not attack a group of swimmers.
• Do not fish or spear fish in shark infested waters
First Aid Care for Shark Bites
• Keep the victim calm
• Apply direct pressure on the wound if there is any bleeding
• Wash minor cuts with soap and water
• Bandage the cuts
• Make sure the victim is warm after coming out of the water
• Transport the victim to the nearest hospital or medical center
At the hospital center the doctors may do any of these things:
• Clean wounds
• Apply pressure to stop bleeding
• Prescribe antibiotics
• Administer IV’s
• Take Xrays
• Perform Surgery (if necessary to remove dead tissue)
• Suture wounds
• Administer a tetanus shot (if the victim has not had one in the previous five years
After initial visit to the doctor
Continue to inspect the wound and notify your doctor immediately if infection sets in or worsens (seepage of reddish brown fluid, blisters around the cut, pain, red streaks around the cut, swelling and fever)

Infant eczema is a form of skin rash that affects babies from as young as 2 months of age until around 2 years of age. Infant eczema usually starts on the forehead and cheeks, but it may spread to the arms, legs, belly or any part of their little body. Unlike adult eczema, infant eczema usually disappears by the time they are 3. Some times, their baby eczema continues as they become children and even until their teen years. The infant eczema is usually dry and scaly skin, which can be very itchy for the baby. When the eczema turns to blisters, this causes the baby a lot of pain and discomfort.
Many parents are very frightened when their baby develops infant eczema. We always picture little babies as being beautiful and perfect and no parent likes to see their little baby full of blisters and uncomfortable. Although the exact cause of infant eczema is uncertain, it is said to be allergy-related. Many doctors also believe the tendency to develop infant eczema can be inherited from parents that have allergies, hay fever, asthma or other allergies. Some things that may worsen the condition on the baby are soaps, detergent, and synthetic chemicals from certain clothing.
One of the most important things you can do for the baby that suffers from infant eczema is to keep their skin clean and moisturized. Although dry skin may not be the cause of infant eczema, it definitely makes it worse. Use lukewarm water but not too warm as the hotter the water, the more it dries the skin out. When you take the baby out of the water, gently pat him dry. Dress him or her in loose fitting clothes preferably cotton. Animal dander is a known irritant to babies so avoid having pets around or near the baby.
Food is another cause of eczema, but it may be difficult to determine what food exactly causing the allergic reaction. The best way to determine this is to do a simple test eliminating one food at a time until you can find the food that the baby is being affected by. If the baby is being breastfed, the mother will have to test and eliminate foods that she’s consuming. Although there is no instant cure for infant eczema, there are simple things you can do to eliminate the baby’s discomfort as much as possible. If you’re unable to help to lessen the symptoms of the infant eczema, consult with your baby’s doctor or a dermatologist who can prescribe medication for the lesions and sores. The high spot is knowing that most babies outgrow their eczema, usually by their teens, if not sooner.

Although there are very few people in the world that have perfect skin, natural skin care products can help everyone have healthy looking, glowing skin. A common skin problem is sensitive skin caused by allergic reactions to many different types of products. Skin irritation, rashes, redness, eczema, and hives are often symptoms of sensitive skin conditions and allergies. Fair-skinned people seem to be more prone to sensitive skin and although there is no cure, reducing allergens caused by harsh products and switching to natural products and natural skin care products does help. Instead of using products that contain harmful chemicals such as skin care products, cosmetics, fabric softeners, laundry detergents, and soaps, choose fragrance free, dye free varieties and natural skin care products.
It does not matter if you have sensitive skin or regular skin, skin care is important. With more consumers demanding safe, chemical free skincare products, the market is flooded with natural skin care products that promise people no harmful side effects and glowing, healthy skin. It is always important to read the list of ingredients in natural skin care products that you are interested in purchasing because some contain ingredients that are not one hundred percent natural. Many natural skin care products have ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, sandalwood, honey, and herbs and come in liquids, creams, and lotions.
There are natural skin care products for almost every skin problem including eczema, acne, wrinkles, cellulite, dark circles, dry skin, eczema, and rashes. Some people prefer to make their own natural skin care products at home using ingredients such as vegetables, bananas, tomatoes, sandalwood, and honey. Using these homemade natural skin care products on a regular basis often results in radiant, blemish free skin that looks fresh and young. Jojoba oil is a simple, quick moisturizer that absorbs easily and is great for any type skin. After you clean your face, while it is still wet, apply a small amount of jojoba, which will act as a moisturizer.
Avocados are full of vitamins B and E, nutrients, and monounsaturated fats, which are great for rejuvenating and moisturizing tired, dry skin. Avocado facemasks made from natural skin care products or ingredients found at home are easy and quick to make. All you need is one avocado and three or four drops of almond oil. Simply peel one avocado, mash it and then add three or four drops of almond oil. Once combined, gently apply and massage the avocado to your face, let it stay on your face for half an hour and then remove with warm water.
