I recently visited a monkey sanctuary in Bali, Indonesia, where a monkey lightly bit my neck. No blood was drawn, and the skin was barely broken. Should I be concerned about getting a rabies vaccination? Additionally, I noticed a red swelling under my arm two days ago. It is red, tender, and doesn't have a physical 'lump'. I applied a hot compress, and it seems slightly better today. Can this heal on its own?

For the monkey bite, there is no need to worry about rabies as long as your skin was intact and no b...

Why do I only recall my past memories in one way, as if they are real memories, and how can I differentiate between true and false memories?

I have 10,000 to 15,000 very symptomatic PVCs daily. I’ve had one ablation but my EP says I have too many areas on my heart to do another. I don’t want to take meds until I’ve exhausted all homeopathic options. I have horrible eating habits and I know my magnesium, potassium, iron, etc., is low. I’m 46, 120 lbs, one cup of coffee daily, then mostly water. Food and I are not good friends so maybe one full meal a day? I try to snack on healthy stuff at my desk (i.e., almonds, bananas, orange juice, protein bars, etc.). I also try to walk at least 30 minutes 5 days a week, but I have a hip problem, so I’m starting back into it, slowly. A lot of people recommend magnesium but I am so confused on which magnesium supplement to take for PVCs. What kind of magnesium should I take, what should I add as far as calcium, potassium, etc., and how much should I start with based on my weight and eating habits?

I am having terrible spots that bleed. They seem to clear up and then return. I'm thinking sun damage as I am a bather. What do you think?

I have a bad cough and bronchitis. I had a chest X-ray that showed mild hazy bilateral pulmonary opacity and atelectasis rather than consolidation. I've been dealing with this for a week and a half. I also have a history of bronchitis when I get a cold, asthma symptoms when I get a cough, and diabetes. Will the antibiotics I've been given clear this up?

I had a physical recently and my results showed some abnormalities. My microalbumin was high (37.8), the UMA/CR ratio was 38, and my creatinine was low (0.5). Also, my mono% was low (5.7). I'm trying to figure out what it means, possible problems, and next steps. My doctor didn't seem concerned, but I'm not convinced. I have pains in my arm and shoulder, abnormal bleeding during sex, and I've been more tired than usual. I've had sleeve surgery in 2016 and gallbladder surgery in 2014. I have diabetes and high blood pressure, both under control with diet only. What do these results mean, and what should I do next?
