New Berlin, WI (PRWEB) April 18, 2013

There is so much in the news about the places that can harbor bed bugs these days. But realistically, we cant avoid them all. With that reality in mind, Batzner Bed Bug Services, a sister company to Batzner Pest Management, wants everyone to be on high alert prior to heading into the busy summer travel season and to declare the week of April 22 as Bed Bug Awareness Week 2013.

Summer is a prime time for bed bug infestations because travel increases and people are more likely to pick up bed bugs during transit between locations. All travelers, from college students coming home for break to families going on vacation, are encouraged to keep a close eye out for bed bugs looking for a ride home in suitcases.

Any public or private place has the potential to have bed bugs brought in on any person or even on their belongings. Unfortunately, property or home owners may have no control over the spread of these little menaces on their premises , said Jason Freels, Service Manager at Batzner Bed Bug Service. One of the best ways to protect your property is to be proactive and plan an offensive strategy.

Here are some tips to help avoid a bed bug infestation:

Probiotic Action The Best Acne Treatment Shares New Insight on the Future of Preventing the Spread of Acne Causing Germs

Miami, FL (PRWEB) May 15, 2013

A recent article from the University of Washington highlighted how certain strains of bacteria are found to leave polysaccharide trails, or chemical paths for other bacteria to follow in order to grow colonies. The research was done on certain P. aeruginosa bacteria, which were found to follow each other to form bacteria colonies. Although the study was not done on the P.acnes bacteria known to cause acne, Probiotic Action explains how this new study may help find a cure and prevent acne in the future.

Finding out how bacteria spreads is extremely important in the mission to control, and suppress its negative functions. If researchers are able to find out how bacteria moves, finds each other, and colonizes, we may find out how to break down groups of acne causing bacteria in the future before breakouts start, says Perez.

Acne causing bacteria has been said to spread when pimples are popped, and affected areas of the skin come in contact with hands and excess oils. With insight on the ways germs spread and gather, probiotics could be used a preventative, and reactive care to stop the growth of bad bacteria, and balance bacteria levels.

Perez adds that with more research we may soon be able to make adult acne treatments more effective through better understanding how they react and move in the presence of a topical probiotic or acne cream.

For more information on acne causing bacteria, and probiotic acne treatments see Probioticaction.com and find them on Facebook.

Probiotic Action is an advanced acne treatment that uses Probiotics for acne containing the good bacteria that is naturally found on healthy human skin. By using probiotics, Probiotic Action is an effective treatment that restores the normal bacteria content on skin. Probiotic Action will successfully clear skin when used as an adult acne treatment while protecting skin against bad bacteria, free radicals, and pollutants*.

Dog Help Network - Preventing Mange in Dogs During the Winter Season

(PRWEB) November 30, 2012

The months are turning colder, and with the colder weather its always a good idea for owners to be monitoring their dogs health. One health problem in specific that is important to be watching out for is mange in dogs. Mange is a problem often occurring in dogs which consists of rashes on their skin caused by mites, and frequent itching of those rashes. While continuing to take furry friends to the outdoor parks, it's good to be aware of how the cold weather and interaction with other dogs may be affecting them. Mites continue to live throughout the winter months and therefore continue to infect dogs. It is important to be incredibly careful while taking dogs outside if they have already contracted mange. Mange causes a loss of hair and animals may die or experience incredible discomfort from the cold due to the loss of their insulating layer of fur.

While it's commonly known that dog mange is caused by a wide variety of mites, it is crucial to know exactly what to look for and what the symptoms and signs of mange are. Dogs generally contract mites from an unclean, infested area or from other infected animals. Mange can be become very serious if left untreated and can spiral out of control. Dogs can tend to get a bit more scruffy in winter months due to the increasing amount of mud or puddles. However, there is a significant difference between unclean, scruffy fur, and fur that is plagued with mange. Symptoms such as hair loss, itching, irritation and scabs on the skin, all attribute to mange. While those symptoms are the most common, there are also more uncommon symptoms to be looking out for. Uncommon symptoms may consist of a fever, lethargy, and weight loss.

If dog owners believe that their dog has contracted mange it's critical to get treatment for them right away. The cold weather makes it increasingly difficult to deal with, as it may further dry out the dogs skin and cause more itching. It is important to contact a veterinarian immediately to begin a treatment plan specifically designed for the dogs infection. Dog mange treatment can often be a difficult task, as missing one small dosage of medication or the incompletion of treatment may lead to a re-infestation very quickly. It is also important to note that any animal that has come in contact with an infected dog must also be treated for mange, even if no symptoms are present. Those who have an outdoor dog or frequent the dog parks, must be sure to check their dogs for symptoms of mange regularly. It is best to identify and treat mange as soon as possible.

Mange in dogs is not easily treated with medicated shampoos, topical ointments and dips. The use of medicated ointments or dips may take between four to six weeks before the infection is resolved. Treatment plans may vary, as they depend on the type of mange the dog has contracted. If a dog is prescribed a medicated dip or topical ointment, the hair should be clipped as short as possible to ensure the product comes in contact with the skin. This further loss of hair, is also another reason why the animal may become increasingly sensitive to the winter air. Once a dog has contracted mange it is best to keep their skin protected and out of the harsh outdoor climate.

It is always important to maintain cleanliness within the home in order to prevent the contracting, or spreading of mange. This includes cleaning a dogs bedding and blankets, vacuuming and shampooing the carpets, as well as focusing on areas the dog plays and sleeps. These are all effective traits in ridding a home of mites and creating a comfortable living place for a dog. Mange can also be prevented by feeding the dog foods and vitamins rich with anti-oxidants. This will improve the dogs immune system, and will help fight off mites before they have a chance to burrow into a dogs skin.

Once again, it is critical to be maintaining pets cleanliness, especially within the winter months, as they are more often coming in contact with dirt and other dogs. Continuing to be aware of a dogs health and the animals that they are coming in contact with, is beneficial to both the owner and the dog. Keeping these facts in mind will help pets stay safe this winter and avoid major problems for the owners as well! For more information visit http://www.doghelpnetwork.com/mange-in-dogs/.

NewVo Beauty Offers Tips for Preventing Heat-Damaged Hair

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) February 22, 2013

On February 22, NewVo Beauty responds to an article about hair care with tips for proper flat iron use.

A recent article in The Express Tribune interviews leading stylists for tips on avoiding damaged hair. The main culprit is heat, say the stylists, who offer several pieces of advice.

The first step, according to the article, is to use heat-protection products before blow-drying hair to minimize damage. The product forms a protective layer or coat around your hair. Other products can help too: Its vital to use protein sprays and conditioners without parabens sodium chloride and sulphate to protect hair from UVA and UVB rays.

On the other hand, they say, striking a balance is important. Dont weigh your hair down with too many products you want to protect your locks, but the fewer products you can use to achieve this, the better. For a long-lasting blow dry, less product should be applied as it ends up making the hair heavy.

The experts also provide several tips for avoiding the dreaded oily scalp. Again, the main cause of excess oil production is heat and over-drying. The stylists caution against over-brushing and over-blowing. They also have an unusual tip that many may find unappealing in the February weather: no hot showers! Very hot water is harmful for your scalp even more than it is for your hair, they say, urging you to only use warm water on your hair and scalp. It helps provide a healthy pH balance, while hot water will simply keep your scalp trapped in a cycle of over-drying and compensatory excess oil production.

Sara Greenstone, representative of NewVo Beauty, comments, saying that many of the pitfalls of improper blow-drying also apply to the use of flat irons. We recommend a pre-treatment with a heat-protection product for flat-iron users too, says Greenstone, adding that a keratin complex is sometimes helpful as an anti-frizz measure for those with very curly hair. Pay attention to how you treat your hair to avoid sabotaging your own beauty efforts. Its important to consider your hair care as a holistic, integrated regimen -- choose quality products that work for you, and take the necessary steps to prevent damage. We also emphasize the importance of regular trimming to keep hair-ends healthy and keep your do appearing full and voluminous.

NewVo Beauty sells over 5,000 professional beauty salon products. Committed to providing quality, hard to find products and great service, NewVo Beauty offers high-demand salon merchandise at affordable prices. Theyre available 24/7 to answer any queries to ensure customers have a great buying experience.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Announces Uncomplicated New Diet Plans for Men to Aid in Preventing Certain Cancers Due to Excess Weight

Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 12, 2013

Cancer of the prostate is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men. The American Cancer Society reported 28,000 deaths in 2012 from prostate cancer in the United States and estimate that over 238,000 new cases will be detected this year. One of the first studies to assess the association between obesity and precancerous abnormalities found that overweight men are more likely to have precancerous lesions detected in a benign prostate biopsy and are at a greater risk for developing prostate cancer. NBC News recently reported on the connection between obesity and its correlation to prostate cancer. According to Dr. Andrew Rundle at Columbia University School of Public Health in NY City, "It is absolutely clear that obesity increases a mans risk of dying from prostate cancer. Also noted in the study is that the accuracy of a biopsy can be affected or even fail to detect pre-cancerous lesions in men that are obese and have a larger prostate.

With prostate cancer on the rise, it is essential that American men become more diligent in recognizing the role that obesity plays in detecting this deadly cancer. Fast weight loss is no longer a mere cosmetic concern, but, more importantly, it is about improving longevity, as well as quality of life and avoiding countless weight related diseases and cancers.

Diet Doc announced that their prescription hCG diet plans for men are now available nationwide as part of a new healthcare initiative known as Telehealth, making medically supervised weight loss accessible to all American men. With the ability to reach those in even the most remote areas of the country by utilizing Skype, telephone and other internet applications, Diet Doc is making losing weight more convenient, unsophisticated and uncomplicated than ever before, giving everyone the opportunity to lose unwanted and unhealthy excess weight without embarrassing doctors offices, group meetings, or sweaty gyms.

To further add to the convenience of this revolutionary new hCG diet plan concept, video conferencing eliminates the need of traveling to doctor's offices and clinics for follow-up visits, saving time and money while offering improved and easy accessibility. Each patient's progress is medically supervised and closely monitored through weekly communication.

Subsequent to an extensive evaluation, followed by a doctor consultation, certified nutritionists will design prescription hCG diet plans that are compatible with each man's health needs and concerns, as well as fitting comfortably into the patient's lifestyle and specific to the bodys dietary and nutritional needs. Prescription hCG, coupled with the custom made hCG diet plans for men, works to promote fast weight loss by triggering the hypothalamus to release stored and trapped fat into the bloodstream. The body then burns this excess stored fat for energy while preventing muscle loss during dieting.

Because prescription hCG naturally suppresses the appetite, American men are looking and feeling better than ever before by losing a pound or more per day without adverse side effects and without hunger, cravings or strenuous exercise regimens.

Diet Doc has combined decades of scientific research with the knowledge and expertise of specially trained fast weight loss doctors, nurses and nutritionists and have developed Americas leading medically supervised hCG diet plans for men that are proven to produce safe and effective weight loss and to help American men healthily and safely avoid possible risk of various types of cancer such as prostate cancer.
