Awareness is a key factor in helping to identify and manage allergy-based diseases with most people living full and healthy

Managing Those Pesky Insect Bites

Summer is (thankfully) almost over but the bugs are still out in force! Being bitten by a mozzie, midgie or ant can be a mild annoyance for some and excruciating pain for others. Prevention is always the best treatment so make sure you lather yourself up with bug spray and surround yourself with a field of citronella candles. If one of the cheeky blighters manages to get through your defence and issues a bite, here's what the best treatment is (besides enacting cruel and swift justice on the offending bug): MOSQUITOES The most annoying creatures on the planet.

Why It’s A Terrible Idea To Pick Up A Blue Ringed Octopus

Over the Australia Day long weekend, a tourist visiting Australia made headlines across the country when they picked up a blue-ringed octopus from the beach. Seemingly not realising the danger they were placing themselves in, the tourist then uploaded a video of the octopus cupped in their hands with the text 'Such a pretty octopus' over the video. In the end, the tourist placed the octopus back in the water without incident. Which is lucky, because a blue-ringed octopus bite carries enough venom to kill 26 adults within minutes. BITE SYMPTOMS In the case of a blue-ringed octopus bite, it

Why is First Aid So Important?

  It's the situation you never think will happen to you. Someone goes into cardiac arrest right in front of you, and apart from rushing to the patient, everyone's next response is to frantically look around at the assembled people hoping someone in the immediate vicinity knows first aid and will swoop in and take control.

There are many reasons why Australians are not first aid qualified - but they should be.

Bright colours, items that make funny sounds when you shake them (think pills in a bottle) or even a new item that is not in its usual spot are fascinating to little ones. As a parent or guardian, it's up to you to ensure that hazardous items are not placed in reach of your children. Statistics show that 65% of accidental poisonings are children due to their inquisitive nature and ingesting something foreign. Keep chemicals and cleaning agents

Invasion of the Bluebottles

  Unless you've been living under a rock, you would have heard that an alarming number of bluebottles have been infesting South East QLD beaches in numbers that are leaving even veteran lifesavers in shock. Just over the past week, over 13,000 people were stung in QLD, including children. Nearly 1,500 of those were on Gold Coast beaches on Saturday alone! The arched dome acts as a sail, pushing the bluebottle with the wind. In most cases, people usually suffer bluebottle stings from swimming, but unusually strong northeasterly swell conditions have pushed the bluebottles up onto the shore,
