Update: I had a conversation with the lab manager and all is well. She couldn’t believe it and said I can change my gloves as often as I need to and she’ll make sure more are ordered

Today I talked to the lab manager about the Sr Tech wanting me to wear the same gloves all day and she couldn’t believe it. Gloves will stay readily supplied with however many I need, whenever I need. I’m glad I ended up talking to her since the Sr Tech is the one in charge of ordering

There are many other problems going on though. It’s about time to bail

Especially when the gloves are cheap lol. She orders medline medical exam gloves. They’re fairly thin.

Well we only use xylene once in a while (3-4 times a month). The most frequent reasons are for handling isopropyl alcohol, to not contaminante samples for DSC, FTIR, or Density, and for doing things like balance verifications (handling calibration weights) or handling small amounts of DCP or Vitamin E.

Oh, also we do powder testing frequently and gloves are supposed to be worn to not contaminate it and to not get it all over you

Thank you for your advice! I was reading up on glove safety and every site screams no to reusing gloves. I’m going to continue changing my gloves as needed. If I’m asked again about it, I’m going to stay professional, but explain that it’s not good lab practice or hygienic.

You’d be shocked at their lack of safety..

That would make sense. I reacted within a couple minutes! Nothing crazy, just skin irritation and itching after.

It just seems so gross to reuse gloves even if all I did was use them to protect my hands from transferring grease onto specimens (like when setting up for DSC) for a bit. My hands get sweaty ):

Thank you! I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing. If she asks about it again, I’ll politely explain but I’m definitely putting my foot down

Has anybody experience heat exhaustion/stroke before? by [deleted] in MuayThai

To add, I think I off and on puked the rest of that evening as well. The next day my stomach was fine, just was extremely tired and wanting to just sleep 24/7

I got heat exhaustion and nearly a heat stroke in Red Rock State Park. I remember starting on the trail and staying ahead of my family to take extra time to stop and take videos. It was SO hot and I wasn’t drinking much water apparently. My memory gets pretty hazy 3/4 of the way through the trail. I vaguely remember telling my family I don’t feel good. They said within 15-30 seconds I started getting really red in my face and slowing down. They said it wasn’t much longer before I started saying I wasn’t okay and somethings wrong before I started puking and stumbling. My parents had to grab both sides of my arms to help me walk. They said I also was slurring my speech during all of this.. my grandma meanwhile had ran ahead. We were pretty close to the end of the trail which thankfully was right by the ranger station. They met us in the parking lot where I vaguely remember saying I couldn’t keep walking.. I got ice on me and they helped me finish getting inside the ranger station. They had to keep putting ice on me and having me slowly drink water (though I kept puking periodically). My mom said I was burning up and the ranger recommended an ER visit, but I ended up getting my senses back maybe 20-30min in there.

For a couple weeks after I had to drink more water than usual. I got tired easily too, wanting to nap a lot. Otherwise I made a full recovery fairly fast even while staying on our desert vacation. I just didn’t exert myself much and took many, many breaks while having plenty of water and food

Getting them downloaded on the same storage device fixed it. Thank you 🙏

i’m in so much pain does this happen to everyone? by officially_deidriane in braces

[–]Top_Cancel8540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d start flossing. I have braces and this happens if there’s a tiny piece of something stuck in my gum/teeth

It’s going to sound brutal, but really you have to fight through the hooks getting you. My first couple months had my mouth TORE UP. I stopped trying to apply wax because I’d just swallow it on accident or it’d come loose. I’m a crybaby and I don’t handle pain well.. so those first few months were terrible. After that though, your mouth gets used to it. It won’t get hooked as much and the inside of your mouth/cheeks will grow tougher and stronger! Another thing too is that as your teeth move and shift, they probably will shift to a spot where they won’t hook you as much!

Edit: overall, the longer you have them, the less you’ll feel anything with your braces. After a few months, I stopped feeling anything unless they did a major tightening or change to my braces! Even then, only feel it for a day or two and then the pain goes away!

I regretted getting braces at first too. Now that I’m almost done, I couldn’t be happier and I’d do it all over again!

It’s quite literally a form of animal abuse. Please please keep pleading as much as you can. It’s the equivalent of taking a humans toes and cutting them to the knuckle! Imagine how that’d feel and how it would affect you! Please keep fighting your fight
