I suffer from chronic asthma. I used to hide it from the public when I was a kid, but now I realize that's not such a bad thing if you have trouble breathing. Inhalers, both preventive and emergency, are still used by me. I'd like to carry a rescue inhaler with me wherever I go, and I don't believe it's a horrible idea. It's the same as wearing glasses or contact lenses. I only use rescue inhalers in an emergency and Preventive inhalers on a daily basis.

Hi,Samjackson85, and welcome! I agree. Carrying a rescue inhaler is a good idea.

Over 50? Don't Do This 5 Things Ever Again

When I read the title, I was thinking of a list such as "Clean leaves out of gutters," "literally run up and down stairs," and "ski". I'm going to add those, anyway!

It's "these" right, not "this"? It took me a bit to get what you meant.

I don't do any of those things thankfully. And this article says 50+ is vulnerable to COVID more than others, yet the CDC and other experts initially said I or we have to be over 75!!! Then it was 70, then 65, then 60! (My age) And then it was 18 and older, which I think it should have been from the beginning.

Nobody is immune to it. I know some are more vulnerable than others, but KIDS can get it as we know. The virus doesn't "care" how old you are or how the government defines "essential" or "vulnerable."

Right. I think just do the best you can aside from what everybody else does or says. (I just bought some N95 masks.)

I've eaten freezer-burned food before. Is it bad for your health? I thought it just tasted bad.

Have an issue when I eat fish, either one occasion or twice during a week. It can be fresh or canned, doesn't make any difference.

My pee smells of fish and I can often smell it through my skin. At first, really spooked me but now I just avoid going out if I think it's strong. It's to be expected with spiced food such as curries, but didn't expect fish to be a culprit.

Apparently, it's a common problem around how our bodies process some types of food. Food can take 24-48 hours to pass through our bodies, so yes, the smell can linger.

I know asparagus makes our pee smell like it. Weird, huh?

I would think some freezer-burned food can be bad for us. It's probably old--or the good vitamins, whatever, aren't there anymore?

Seems like it would be smart to put a date on foods when we put them in the freezer....

I’ve eaten freezer burned food and am still here.Our health issues

I do label my stuff but still forget about stuff in there more than 2 months. It may not taste good or have the same nutrients but food is too precious to throw out unless obviously bad. It’s too deeply ingrained in me not to waste food.

What else can they do, the pharmacists can’t work if they’re sick.
