I woke up just a few minutes ago with the most horrible itching I’ve had in years.  It was so awful that I was raw and bleeding. Salves weren’t going to cure this; I grabbed the rubbing alcohol.  You probably have  had some minor tingling experiences with rubbing alcohol on minor abrasions; this was a hundred times worse — and when the screaming was all over and done with the horrible itching came right back.

Maybe I’d better start a little earlier in the narrative.  Early on in life I found out the hard way that I’m victim of multiple chemical sensitivity reactions.  ANYBODY can drink out of a plastic hose; one tiny sip will literally kill me.

Okay, back to the narrative again.  A friend of mine that doesn’t know I have this horrible problem, suggested that I take cayenne pepper for another problem and I’ve just found out that cayenne pepper oozes out of my pores, and then chafes the skin.  Oh boy.  I am on fire everywhere!

Rubbing alcohol is not coming to the rescue and I’m heading back into the bedroom to get some clean underwear when suddenly I spot the sassafras tea still in the bottle from my last summer on the ranch.  This is a detour sign and I make a 180 back into the bathroom with sassafras firmly clutched in my hands.

Sassafras tea, not root beer, is a good counter-irritant to the threat of poison oak, poison ivy. Root beer comes from the roots; this comes from the leaves.  As good as it works it could be dangerous so be careful with it.  Yes, I am very serious about this.

I have already bathed in alcohol several times with only seconds of relief.  Now I splash on the never-foaming cleanser from the hills of Arkansas.  Not only does it not burn me, but it immediately soothes that cayenne pepper itch.  20 minutes later and it is only those places I couldn’t reach with one or both of my hands that is still itching.

Sassafras tea has worked just as well for heavy-welted cases of poison ivy.  It is the spring of the year in North America and poison ivy is one of the more vigorous climbers known to man.  If it grows in your neck of the woods there is a good chance you’ll come into contact with it at least once or twice.  If all else fails, remember the cure.  You other multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome sufferers can use it on the way to the hospital.

Oh, if you have a little patch of woods that you call your own, borrow some goats and take a walk through the woods with them.  Call it a nature walk and walk real slow.  Goats love poison oak and poison ivy more than anything else besides kudzu.  They will dine fine on poison ivy and usually even gain weight.  Give them half a chance and goats will tear poison oak and poison ivy plants right out of the ground to get the last little bite.

Health insurance should never be taken lightly. This is especially true when traveling to another country. You cannot take your local insurance with you. You will need to purchase an international insurance plan, like the one being offered at

http://www.talewins.com/Life/International.htm

Many of these plans will cover you for up to six months of travel in another country. International insurance by its very nature must cover a wide variety of challenges, therefore, don’t be surprised when you are asked to divulge a long list of health information to be accepted. This will range from health problems you’ve had in the past ten years, your hereditary conditions to substance abuse, and almost everything else. In fact, if it has anything to do with your health, be prepared to disclose that information. Furthermore, if you will be traveling with more than one family member, then be prepared to give information for each family member as well.

Before you begin asking about price, determine if you are investigating an HMO or PPO. If you are under an HMO or health maintenance organization, then you will be limited to receiving care only from the providers who are in their network. You can retrieve a list of all the companies within that insurer’s network upon request. If you will be under a PPO, or preferred provider organization, then you will have the opportunity to pick the best nearby facility you see fit, however your PPO insurer will only cover a portion of the incurred cost.

There are many options that can be applied to expatriate health insurance depending on your family’s needs and how long you plan on spending abroad. If you plan on staying abroad for more than six months then you should look into what is called expatriate health insurance. Only larger companies supply this type of insurance, as it is much more extensive with the type of options that can be applied to each policy. The type of treatment options that are covered with expatriate health insurance are those that are labeled as specialty treatments, like chiropractic therapy and acupuncture.

Be sure you understand every aspect of your policy before narrowing your choice to any one particular company.



ANY health insurance is better than none, but why settle for ANY when you can pick and choose your health insurance provider from the very best, and find the coverage you want at a price you can afford.
