Swing

 You decided on a body piercing, found a reputable piercer, and survived your appointment. Now your piercing is doing something unexpected, and you're worried that it might be infected. Are these the normal signs of healing, or are you and your piercing headed for trouble? Read on to find out how to tell if your piercing is infected.


Any time your body is injured - including piercing - you might see the five signs of inflammation: redness, heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function. These are normal and indicate that your immune system is at work, but they can also be signs of infection. The difference is a matter of degree and timing.


Symptoms


Your piercer should tell you what to expect during healing. If you know what is normal, you will be able to detect trouble early. Let's look at the possible symptoms of infection:


Redness - It is normal for a new piercing to be slightly reddened because blood flow to the area is naturally increased. Sure signs of trouble include redness that won't go away, an expanding area of redness, or red streaks that track away from the piercing.


Heat - Heat also occurs because of increased blood flow and indicates a problem if it increases over time, is hot and not just warm, or just will not go away.


Swelling - Swelling is caused by a build up of fluid. Oral piercings are especially prone to it - a tongue piercing can take a week to ten days to settle down. Swelling is problematic if it does not go down as quickly as expected or gets worse. Your jewelry must be long enough to accommodate swelling. Otherwise, it is very hard to clean, and there is a risk that the jewelry could pull through the piercing and be lost under the skin.


Pain - It is normal for a piercing to be tender for a few days, especially if it is subject to movement (e.g. tongue, lip), or aggravated by clothing or bumping. Pain that worsens with time or is extreme indicates a problem.


Loss of function - An eyebrow might not have a lot of work to do, but a tongue will be slowed down by a piercing, and an infection will make this worse. A pierced body part that will not move or is too painful to move is not normal - you may have an infection.

    It serves as an easy alternative to urine tests. Saliva retains THC traces for about 1–7 days in some cases.A person getting drug tested with the hair follicle method faces a real challenge. It is the fastest-growing and most technologically advanced method of detecting drugs. The hair follicle test is gaining rapid popularity among the government and other organizations because of its ability to detect drugs consumed about 90–120 days ago.There are several individual factors that determine how long THC (more specifically Delta-9) remains in your body. These factors may include:Age, gender, and frequency of exposure also determine the duration for which THC may linger in your body.Due to the THC’s lipid-solubility, it tends to get deposited in the fat cells of your body. It is relatively easier (and faster) for a person with lower body fat to flush out the toxins. Instead, monitors listen for any suspicious sounds or activities that indicate you are using fake pee. It’s not enough if it looks like the real thing – it must sound like you’re urinating as well. If they think you might be cheating, they’ll make you repeat the test under direct supervision.Synthetic pee mimics real human urine closely enough to pass drug tests without raising any suspicions that the person cheated. The best synthetic urine brands go undetected by even the best laboratories. For the greatest chance of success, you need to use only the best synthetic urine on the market. Off-brand or discount versions are more likely to be caught.

Under Your Skin

 As civilization marches forward, people will always be finding new ways to expre ss themsel ves. While body modification has been around for centuries, the flux in the type and degree to which body modification is acceptable has been on the rise in recent years. For a long time, the only acceptable piercing in America seemed to be the earlobe, and then only if it was on a woman. I'm sure everyone nowadays has seen someone so exorbitantly bedecked with piercings on every flap of skin they could find, that the practice has almost become old-hat. That being said, some people may be still unaware of the evolution of piercing things that do not even require a hanging flap of skin-dermal piercings. The differences between a dermal piercing and a traditional piercing is that instead of threading a piece of jewelry through a piece of skin, you are actually implanting one piece of jewelry underneath the sub dermal tissue of the skin, and using this as an "anchor" to hold the vis...
