Is IBS contagious and infectious?

If I stand in the same room with a person who has Irritable Bowel Syndrome, does it mean his germ will pass into my body? I am very afraid because one of my friend has IBS and he suffers lot of stomach pains and problems. I have been avoiding contact with him for safety reasons. He is to visit my house and I am feeling very nervous and scared if his stomach troubles will transfer into my stomach?

Can someone help me figure out wtf happened?

So when I began middle school there was a cute boy named Noah that rode my bus every day. He was in a grade above me and over time we became great friends. When I hit 7th grade (he was in 8th) and we really liked each other. He sat on the bus with me, waited by my locker after school, said hi and talked to me whenever he could... then Noah finally asked if I would be his girlfriend. I said no though, that I only wanted to be friends (cause my dad's protective and won't let me date) . Even after that we still talked and stuff... then everything just stopped. Noah ignored me completely for months. I attempted to get him to tell me WHY? Why was he ignoring me? Over Facebook one day he told me he was sorry to have done me that way, I said it was okay, but it really left me scarred, Especially when I had my drunk mother to deal with (he knew this) . Noah's wierd actions cause me to spiral deeper into depression, until finally, after trying to form some sort of conversation and failing, I agreed to silence. After a few months, my mom and I were reunited and everything was okay. Except for 'him'. To clean up some unwanted dust, I attended his graduation from the middle school and congragulated him. As soon as he saw me he frowned, though he just responded "Hm, thanks." in a dull, uncaring voice. WTF HAPPENED? After two years of being best friends, Noah left me in the dust at the hardest time in my life.

Isn't it a contradiction to use ways to prolong peoples lives, yet....?

While it might be ironic, it isn't necessarily contradictory even though they seem like polar opposites. Overpopulation, at least so far, is not a direct consequence of life-prolonging practices, unless you believe that modern agriculture, sanitation, nutrition, basic hygiene and other such things are unnatural life-prolonging activities. Define "natural" then find a majority of people who will agree with your definition. What exactly is a natural way of life? One in which man doesn't intervene on his own behalf? No clothing? No shelter? No tools? No education? No medicine? Where do you draw the line at what is natural and what is artificial? Don't worry though. Unless mankind directly addresses the looming specter of overpopulation, no "miracle cures" can save us from the inevitable consequences of unsustainable population growth.

Is this game that my brother and I play just a little too weird?

It is a little weird, but it's okay if you both like the game. Putting the key in the mail is a bad idea, though. If there is an emergency, being stuck handcuffed to each other could be a serious problem. You would need the key right away. Also, the mail can be slow sometimes. What if the key doesn't come back until Monday? I suggest putting it in a safe place, such as a kitchen drawer, in case you need to take the handcuffs off.

What are some tips towards feeling happy again during long term unemployment?

You can join the military still, I'm sure they have a position that will use your mapping skills and with your degree, you can get nice rank to start out with. They pay your medical, housing and probably give you a bonus. You can sign up 4 years and see where it takes you. It's worth at least asking the recruiter about, the airforce is a good start.

Would I be a good candidate for medical school?

I'm currently in engineering right now for my undergrad, i've got an associates in science also. My GPA right now is a about 3.7 in Electrical Engineering, my grandfather and friends are living through alot of pain and suffering with COPD and crohn's disease. It really hurts me and I wish nobody has to have such a disease, it makes me want to help fight this disease. I never really considered medical school untill my mother got me a job collecting data for a GI doctor. I was increasingly interested in all the medical terms and unrelated medical questions that i could ask the doctor. I was just doing the job for the money but I became interested in the science of infectious disease. I'm not going to lie, the money and social status is extremely attractive, but I also find the material very interesting and there is something inside of me that wants to help those who are suffering with such diseases as COPD which my grandfather is suffering through. I'm 22 years old right now i will be 24 by the time i graduate. Medical school in my country is very difficult to get into (canada), I am not good at short-term memorization, I am more of a logical thinker as I was educated in thinking as a computer engineer, I tend to use math and logic, not so much memorization. However that being said I am great at memorizing hockey stats (things of my interest) I know every hockey player in the NHL since the year 1995, their height/weight/age, teams played for, city of birth, appearance, style of play. I don't even realize that I was memorizing all those hockey facts, I also think i have a good long-term memory as I remember alot of things that others don't seem to recall in my childhood. My short term memory is about average, but I have developed a tremendous work ethic from my engineering degree so far. Do you think I could survive medical school based on what i've described? Thanks all feedback is welcome.

Penis problems - please help?

After I ejaculate the skin on my penis head seems to go dry, i dont know if this was caused by me stupidly scratching the area harshly about a year ago. I have small scratch scars from this but if i dont masturbate for a few days then they become less visible, also the scratched area healed but the area considerably more red than other areas of my penis head, yet all of it seems to appear dry after masturbation. I know this is not dried semen or smegma as I shower twice a day and wash after masturbation. Any help on solving this?

He said he didnt want to date me, why is he acting this way?

I was seeing this guy. I'm 24 he is 31. He said he didn't want to date me bc I was immature and inexperience in life. He said i was crazy and had head problems to fix before I could be with anyone. Everytime I try to break it off he wouldn't let me. He ended up breaking it off and telling me to delete his number and other hurtful things. We work together and I told him to stay away from me. He did not like the sound of that. After he ended it with me, at work he prolongs any conversation with me. He stares at me or make noises to get my attention. Other days he completely avoids me. Like if he sees me coming he turns and walks in a different direction. I also believe he stole my phone. I was at work early one day and all alone. I left to check something out on site (i work on a construction site) and came back and it was gone. He dissapeared for a little while too. Oh and he had a gf the entire time that I didn't know about. Why is he being this way? What should I do? I've tried to talk to him about it but he won't let me. I am a little afraid of him because I dont really know who he is and what he is capable of.

Can you still tan if you have fake tan on?

Unfortunately I am as pale as a stick of chalk so I do put some fake tan on occasionally if I'm on a night out, however the stuff is hard to get of so I'm wondering will it make a difference if it's still on me when I'm sunbathing, will it stop me getting a colour? Is it true when people say the sun will prolong the colour of the fake tan?

Do i have herpes all over?

I recently got diagnosed with Herpes Simplex 2. It sucked, but the only place I got outbreaks were my index and middle fingers. I got the virus 1 year ago and did not know I had herpes until a week ago when I was diagnosed and tested by a doctor. Recently I had an outbreak on my finger and I went to the doctor and he gave me Valtrex. The herpes sores looked like they healed up rapidly, literally in about 2 days the sores were barley noticable. I finished the seven day supply of Valtrex (3 times daily 1mg or 1g or 1 something). After that the herpes continued to fade. Recently however(about 2 days ago), I have had 2 outbreaks that are no longer on my finger. It would appear as though the herpes spread,... everywhere. There are things that appear to be lesions all over my forehead some on my face and all over the top part of my chest. My outbreaks are usually pretty minor, as are these outbreaks, but still the fact that im breaking out all over my face and lips and forehead and chest and even more recently genitalia lead me to believe that I could have possibly spread the virus ALL over my body. My question is, is this likely or even possible?????? If not, what could it be? Also when do you think/ is it estimated that the University of Florida cures herpes? Sorry for so many questions, but I GREATLY appreciate whatever help I can get! Also, I talked to my doctor and he pretty much admitted that he didn't know anything and got me a refferal to see an infectious disease doctor. The appointments not til next week, so whatever help I get today will be appreciated. Also the lesions are not painful but they were itchy/tickly coming in. They also appear kinda puffy in some areas like my forehead. The puffiness gets bigger and smaller throughout the day. But it does appear as though it is herpes. The herpes on my genatalia are not that severe (only a few bumps scattered.) It is not possible that I contracted the herpes on my genatalia as I am a virgin, hence why I had it on my fingers.
