Sexual Assault (Rape)
There is no easy way to recover from a sexual assault. But getting the medical care and support you need is a good place to start.
Treating Sexual Assault
After a sexual assault, it's normal to feel angry, afraid, and even ashamed. But try not to let these feelings keep you from getting medical care. Medical treatment can help you recover physically as well as emotionally.
Medicine Reaction: Other
A reaction to a medicine can have different symptoms depending on the specific medicine. The reaction can range from very mild to very severe.
Insect, Spider, and Scorpion Bites and Stings
Most insect bites are harmless and cause only minor swelling or itching. But if you're allergic to insects, such as wasps or bees, a sting can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction. The venom (poison) from scorpions and certain spiders can also be deadly, although this is rare. Knowing when to get emergency care could save your life.
