Barbers Pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) is most commonly found in southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales it is most common to find the worms here because is humid but no to humid in order to kill off the worms and not too cold to kill the worms. Refer to figure 1 in order to see where about they are most commonly found. The Barbers worm is found in the 4th stomach (abomasum) they live in that area of the stomach because the most common way to detect weather or not there is any worms in the stomach is to conduct a worm egg test commonly known as FEC (faeces egg count).

Scabies is a contagious skin disease marked by itching and small raised red spots, caused by the mite. Scabies is the result after the mite burrows into the skin. The itching is caused from the body’s allergic reaction to the mites, mite waste, and mite eggs. Scabies is usually spread by skin-to-skin contact with someone who already has scabies (Carey). Sexual contact, or other close contact, like hugging, is most likely the reason it is spread. Scabies can appear in clusters (Stoppler).

Formation of larval cysts can occur in the muscles, eyes, brain, and/or spinal cord. Cysts in these areas can lead to other side affects.

Jock Itch is a fungal infection which mainly affects the groin area of the human body. This disease not only affects groin but also it may affect inner thigh as well as adjacent skin including scrotam in males. This is usually seen mostly in males and occasionally in females too. This is also known as tinea cruris or ringworm of groin. This disease is occurred by the growth and spreading of particular type of fungus in the groin area mostly seen in adult men as well as boys of adolescence stage. It is sometimes accompanied with athlete’s foot and ring worm also. The fungus causing his disease is more effective in the warm as well as moist areas. The main cause for the occurrence of this disease is the formation

Bed bugs often are often found near where humans or animals sleep. Bed bugs infest cracks and crevices in furniture, electronic devices, books or any other article that provides a hiding place.

Bedbugs can be quite difficult to identify due to their size and habit of staying hidden. They fear lit areas and hide in small dark areas. They are most commonly found in bedclothes, mattresses, springs, bed frames, any dark cracks or crevices and even wallpaper. The host is usually bitten at night. Bedbugs cause small skin lesions that are not felt till hours later due to their saliva containing anesthetic compounds. The skin lesions can range from 5mm to 2cm in diameter. Their bite creates a central hemorrhagic crust or vesicle at the bite site. A large feeding

Melinda’s Cherished Melody Fighter by Christina Aguilera represents Melinda in the novel Speak. Because she becomes stronger and finds her voice, she was getting blamed by a person who can’t accept their problems, and she was getting taken advantage of. The book Speak is written by Laurie Halse Anderson. This book is about a girl named Melinda that was raped by a senior in her school named Andy Beast. Melinda was misunderstood and judged in many ways.

Bed bugs are often found in close proximity to beds. They get big itchy welts, that take two or more weeks to heal. They are primarily transported by humans and humans belongings like clothes, beds, and suitcases. Bed bugs are found in temperate and tropical climate worldwide. They are mostly commonly found in living quarters were their host resides. Bedbug bites are on a area of skin exposed while sleeping. Also, the bites do not have a red spot in the center like flea bites do.

     Transmission of the parasite can occur in several different ways. Direct transmission can occur by handling infected animal or human feces. One quarter of reported direct transmission infections occurred by direct contact with feces, while the rest were reported to have happened by person to person contact (Donnelly & Stentiford, 1997).

As a parent who is active in your child's life, you take an interest in how they are doing in school and in their life overall. Occasionally issues come up that can adversely affect them, and head lice is one such issue. Lice are tiny insects that are parasitic in that they feed off blood just under the scalp. They can't jump or fly but they can crawl from one child's head to another's in the event of physical contact.

When people cannot get rid of their lice or think they have gotten rid of their lice, this causes the spread of lice to their friends and co-workers. Super Lice was first reported in Israel in the 1990s. Due to the way our society is today, it is very likely that someone visiting may have brought Lice that is somewhat “super” across seas to the USA. Because of this we must be careful who are getting close

Developing a survey as the medium for my research proved to be beneficial. I was able to gain an understanding of the fundamental perceptions that arise when discussing head lice. It is evident from the answers I received from the children and the adults that the stigma associated with lice is so prevalent and overwhelming that it causes concern, fear, and embarrassment for the child who got the lice and the parent. The child and a parent feel like they are second- class citizens and that they are unclean.

For this reflection, the focus is to look closer at Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and how it works and what makes it successful.

In 1920 when alcohol prohibition began the war against cannabis had been going strong for a decade. In 1910 the Mexican Revolution created a surplus of Mexican immigrants in the United States; American citizens were frightened by the Mexican culture, including their recreational use of cannabis (Marijuana Legalization, 2015, para 7). Politicians continued to use fear and racism to grow disapproval and hatred of cannabis. Beginning in 1915 twenty-nine states passed the anti-marijuana law, which was first created and passed by the state of Utah when a group of Mormons who were visiting Mexico returned home with cannabis (Marijuana Legalization, 2015, para 9). The prohibition of cannabis

The path of a mite's burrow looks like a line of tiny blisters on the skin. Larvae hatch from the eggs and live under the skin's surface, where they develop into adult mites. Scabies is a fairly common infectious disease that occurs sporadically and also sometimes in outbreaks. Most outbreaks occur in nursing homes, institutions, and child-care centers.
