Boil Water Advisory Issued for Atchison, Kansas

By

FYI:
Even if you aren’t in Atchison, if you are effected by the flooding, keep an eye on water safety in your area!

The KDHE said customers should observe the following precautions until further notice:

If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.
Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation or use bottled water.
Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic ice maker.
Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled. Supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is not ingested. Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

The KDHE said the advisory took effect on Tuesday and will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved. KDHE officials issued the advisory because of high turbidity. High turbidity may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.

Uncontrollable Shaking During Labor Is a Thing — And You Can Thank Your Hormones

By

“Hormones run our bodyworks behind the scenes and most of the time, we don’t notice them at all until one goes off kilter or becomes dominant. Then we can’t help but pay attention.

“That’s probably what’s happening when pregnant women get the “labor shakes,” described as uncontrollable shivering, trembling or teeth-chattering. Desiree Bley, MD, OB-GYN at Providence Hospital in Portland OR, says, ‘Labor shakes are related to hormone shifts, adrenaline response and temperature. We’re all different so some women get them and some don’t.'”
