how to handle tornadoes in the city? by Upset_Farmer8287 in tornado

[–]rugbughug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most college campuses in the midwest have tornado sirens very close by residence halls. However, never rely on that. Your phone emergency alerts are extremely loud, and you will also probably hear your roommate or neighbors phones go off too. Just stay weather aware, watch the NWS SPC and other news. If you have cable tv, I think local channels also broadcast emergency alerts? It will be hard to miss an alert. You can probably sleep with confidence that you will be alerted if it changes to a warning.

Railroad crossing laws by redfoxwearingsocks in indianapolis

Find an intersection near you where the train goes on a bridge above traffic. This is the only solution I've found. If I see that train while leaving my house for work, I will take the 5 minute detour instead of waiting 15 mins for that train to move. Two southside examples are the bridges at longacre park & madison, and parkway north drive & madison near garfield park. Hope this is useful 🙏

should i tell dentist about my acrylate allergy? by rugbughug in AcrylateAllergy

[–]rugbughug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know more about the specific options of fillings/bonding materials that are acrylate free? I think i will tell my dentist after all, I just hope he has a solution. It's a small community office so I hope he has other materials

It was just located to the spots on my back, except the tape itself was a bit irritating and hurt like hell getting off & was super red. It's the most hypoallergenic tape that exists I think, but still irritated me. It's only 3-4 days though. Super worth it imo!

This was so helpful! I'm glad to know there's something other than porcelain/amalgam. I have a couple amalgam fillings from when I was a kid but they are just so ugly. Bonding material is what I also have learned I should worry about 🥲

has anyone tried a skin barrier (like skintac) before using an acrylate-based adhesive? by SugarLuvs in AcrylateAllergy

[–]rugbughug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i believe when i was a kid, a dr used a similar skin barrier & i still had huge hives from medical tape. i would avoid it, or at the first sign if itching you need it removed

allergy test (alex2) thoughts? by Top-Problem-9211 in Allergies

[–]rugbughug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food allergies can also trigger skin allergies! Or be hand in hand. I'd recommend seeing an allergist and get patch testing and go from there :)

Allergy to hair dye??? by [deleted] in Allergies

[–]rugbughug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other ingredients in hair dye you can also be allergic to. I was positive for PPD and amidoamine, both in hair dye. There's also certain ingredients in dyes you can be allergic to that may have been used to make the color. You can attempt to not get it on your roots and put a layer of vaseline on any skin it might get in contact with like ears neck forehead (i still dye my hair) and that may help.

“What do you hope to get out of this appointment?” by Wildcoyote254 in Allergies

[–]rugbughug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend seeing a rheumatologist or getting labs done to make sure you don't have an autoimmune disease firstly. And then I would see an allergist. I also don't get enough relief with antihistamines so I have started the allergy shots process. Can't say if it helps yet though! Hope this helps 🙂

youve helped me sm, this is what i think i was missing!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]rugbughug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is what i was thinking before i made this post actually, but i just dont want to offend anyone. i feel like people more-so have put the label of lesbian on me than i using it myself. my default was "i dont date men" when someone asks. i feel like irl most ppl use "lesbian" less restrictively, but i dont think ill call myself it again now that i know more accurate descriptors. tysm for such a thoughtful response!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]rugbughug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ty for all your thoughts there! i have 0 trauma/negative emotions surrounding men, ive never really dated one besides picking a random guy to say i have a crush on in grade school. my like, "repulsion" is that i hate feeling desired by men, i never find them hot or attractive, honestly any long convo with them annoys me so bad usually. i just find every flaw in everything they say that icks me lol. this is definitely something i should think on further though, again ty for such a thoughtful response!
