I woke up suddenly with chills, a need to frequently use the bathroom, extreme thirst, a racing heart, and shaking. I'm also experiencing nausea and frequent bowel movements. I don't think I have a fever, but I'm concerned because this happened the night before as well. I'm 51, female, overweight, and have a history of chronic bladder infections. Could this be a serious condition, and what should I do?

I accidentally used Bayer Advanced All-in-One Rose and Flower Care to water my vegetables about four times before realizing it was meant for roses. I have been eating the vegetables for about a month. Should I be concerned about any potential harm, and what should I do?

I have been on Chantix for almost 3 weeks but it has not helped me at all. However, today there seemed to be a difference. I was able to go for up to 2 hours without smoking. Could it have taken awhile to reach optimum level for me? Or have I reached the desired level of medication without success? Should I continue perhaps another week and keep trying to quit? I called the manufacturer of Chantix but they would not answer my question.

I went swimming on Memorial Day weekend and two days later I started having crusty ear wax forming. Tried the ear wax removal recommended by my pharmacist at Walgreens. That did not help. Have tried the swimmers ear treatment also, I am still getting excessive draining, but no pain!!! Hearing is a little muffled but not that bad. Have tried peroxide, and alcohol. Any suggestions???

Is there any risk of acquiring HCV or HIV if you swallow a 'speed bomb' (powder wrapped in a piece of paper and swallowed)? Can you get infected via the substance itself, or do infections occur only when sharing needles, syringes, etc.? I am worried since I swallowed three 'speed bombs' in a club.
