View allI'm really worried about the side effects of taking Paracetamol 500 mg, and I don't want to take it unless I really need to. Could you let me know at what temperature in Fahrenheit should I consider taking it? I'm trying to be cautious about it.
Paracetamol is a relatively safer antipyretic medication with little side effects. Maximum you can take is upto 4 tabs a day at 6 hour intervals after checking your body temperature if it's more than 100 degree f.

I'm worried about what happens if an Indian house lizard bites you. Is it poisonous, or can it cause some kind of health issue? Also, what should I do first if it happens?
Indian house lizard bites are generally not poisonous and do not cause serious health issues. However, the bite can sometimes lead to mild irritation, redness, or swelling at the site of the bite. If a lizard bites you, the first aid would involve cleaning the affected area with soap and water to prevent infection. You can apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling or pain. Over-the-counter antiseptic cream can also be applied to the bite area to prevent infection. If there is persistent pain or signs of infection, it is advisable to seek medical attention.
