HEALTHY LIVING TIPS:

Do you know what to do in case of snake bite?  As temperatures warm, snakes begin to move about looking for food.  If a person is bitten by a poisonous snake, staying calm, though difficult, is important until the victim arrives at the emergency room.  Snake bite kits are useful and can be purchased from outdoor sports stores.  Getting emergency treatment ASAP is the goal.

Use paper towels to absorb moisture of vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator.  Once fruits and vegetables are washed, place them on a paper towel and on a visible shelf for storage.  The paper towel absorbs the humidity and placement on  a shelf keeps eating it as a priority!
