How do I stop my glasses from rubbing behind my ears?
The Problem: Your glasses are too tight on the backs of your ears. The Fix: Run the earpieces under really warm water (not boiling, but as hot as you can get it from the faucet) for a few minutes. Gently bend the earpieces upwards to relax the curve. TIP Don’t put your lenses under the hot water — you could ruin them.

What is a systemic allergic reaction?

Why do I have heavy metals in my body?
Heavy metal poisoning is caused by the accumulation of certain metals in the body due to exposure through food, water, industrial chemicals, or other sources.
