It is not 100% to say that tomorrow is with us nothing bad will happen, because often life throws up surprises when least expected. That is why it is so important to always be alert.
In this review, you'll find the 10 most unexpected and useful facts that at certain moments could save someone's life.
Vinegar
Thanks to its antibacterial properties, simple vinegar can destroy many dangerous bacteria, including Clostridium botulinum, provoking paralysis, Mycobacterium, which causes tuberculosis, Listeria (Listeria), Salmonella (typhoid), Staphylococcus (food poisoning) and some varieties of Escherichia coli.
In addition, vinegar can be used in the treatment of burns. It is enough to dilute a small amount of vinegar in cold water and apply on the wound a compress with the resulting liquid. It also comes in handy if you are stung by a jellyfish. And in the kitchen, vinegar can be useful not only for cooking but also for washing fruits and vegetables, because it effectively destroys all present them to the bacteria.
Pine resin
Pine resin protects the wood from small pests and bacteria and has a similar effect to humans. Many call tar a natural antiseptic. This substance can easily stop some bleeding, "pull" from the wound of microbes, to exert antifungal effect.
Eyes in the picture
If you notice in the pictures just one red-eye man, he may have retinoblastoma. This is a rare form of cancer that often affects patients at an early age. In the case of timely detection of the disease, there is a chance to cure her. The worst outcome of retinoblastoma may be loss of vision.
Soda
Plain baking soda can be invaluable when the kitchen will happen a small fire. To quickly put out the fire, enough to throw him a little powder, but it will help only in case if we are talking about a small hearth.
Gray ring around the eyes
Look carefully to the eyes of their friends. If you notice around the edge of the cornea gray ring, most likely, this person has elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood. Also, these "rings" indicate high level of triglycerides. Both of these factors have a negative impact on human health and can lead to serious consequences in the form of a stroke or heart attack.
Water bottle
To think that a regular bottle of water can easily burn your car! But this does not mean that you should immediately throw out all the drinking water out of the car. Enough to know how to keep it, or rather how not to do it.
Water bottles can be dangerous if you hold it at the rear window of the car, so that through it the sunlight. In this case, a transparent container filled with liquid, can play the role of a convex lens, respectively, to cause a fire.
Gun
I sincerely hope that such scenes will see only in the movies, but as they say, "forewarned is forearmed". If suddenly you have a gun, and to help the police have arrived, try to stay as far away from the head of the attacker.
The fact is that law enforcement officers in negotiations with the criminals tend to aim at the "facial triangle" extending from the septum to the edges of both eyes. So if you don't want to accidentally get injured is your abuser, try to release the police the direction to "target".
The rescue of drowning
Once you have saved a man from drowning, do not rush to breathe a sigh of relief, because now it's a must to take him to the hospital. Otherwise, the human lung may remain water, which gradually inhibits their function and may ultimately lead to respiratory failure.
It is noteworthy that the symptoms of so-called "dry drowning" is not apparent immediately. The reaction can occur even after 48 to 72 hours after the rescue out of the water.
Thirst
If for some reason you are suddenly left without a source of drinking water, limit yourself to food, because it only increases thirst. This happens due to the fact that salt is present in most foods, once in the digestive system, absorbed into the bloodstream and makes the blood even more salty.
Salty blood circulates through the body, filling all the cells, and eventually they send a signal to the brain, requiring more water to maintain equilibrium.
Airbag
Never place feet on the dashboard, because it is fraught with serious injuries. When there is an accident, the airbags deploy so sharply that the force of impact in the result can even lead to broken limbs.
