About the Lost Colony Mystery
What is the mystery of the lost Roanoke colony? What happens to the people? Maybe they built boats and a hurricane blew them away or the Native Americans kidnapped them. Perhaps they went to live with the Native Americans because they didn't have any food. Here are some links:

My Birth Mystery
My history mystery question is:
Where did I sleep when I was a baby?
I asked my Mom and she said, "When you were a newborn, you slept in a white wicker bassinet in your parents' bedroom."
I asked my dad and he also said I slept in a bassinet, but he didn't remember the color or material.
Mom said, "When you were older, you moved into a brown crib in your sister's room."
I asked my sister and she said, "You slept in a bassinet in our parents' bedroom."
Emergency First AidBy Brightweather
Bright says that in an emergency, you should call 911 first. American Safety &Health Institute said: “Emergency scenes are often unsafe. Your personal safety is your higher priority, even before the safety of an ill or injured person. Putting yourself in danger to help someone can make the situation worse.
Always pause for a moment before approaching an emergency and look for obvious hazards. Consider the possibility of hidden dangers. If the scene is unsafe, do not approach if the location you are already in becomes unsafe, get out.”
ABCDE of First Aid by Helen Underwood gives these tips:
A stands for Assess.
Is it safe to stay?
Is the airway open?
B stands for Breathing.
Do chin lift and CPR if necessary.
C stands for Circulation.
If bleeding, care for wound.
D stands for Damage.
Treat as appropriate.
E stands for Ensue.
Check to make sure the victim is still breathing.
Wounds, Bruises and InjuriesWhat can you do if someone is bleeding? According to Health in Christian Perspective by ABeka:
“Both incisions (smooth edged cuts) and lacerations ( jagged edged cuts) usually bleed freely. Abrasions (scrapes) do not usually bleed much: however, they are often very painful because scraping away of the epidermis exposes many nerve endings.
Wash minor cuts and abrasions thoroughly with antibacterial soap and water: then cover the wound with a bandage. A moist (covered) wound will heal faster and scar less than one that is exposed (open to the air).”
Health in Christian Perspective by A Beka Book said:
“A direct blow to the body, a fractured, a sprain, or a disease can cause internal bleeding, a serious closed wound that is sometimes difficult to detect...Place a sterile gauze pad or thick, clean cloth over the injury area and apply direct pressure( press firmly on the wound). Elevate the wounded part of the body above the level of the victim's heart you while you apply pressure, unless the injury involves a fracture...Shock occurs because the body depends on blood pressure to return blood in the veins to the heart...Have the victim lie down to aid circulation: if there is is no head, neck, or back injury, and no chest bleeding, elevate his or her feet 8 to 12 inches to encourage blood flow to the heart. Loosen any clothing at the victim's neck, chest, and waist to make breathing easier: cover him or her with a blanket if necessary to maintain his or her body temperature...Begin rescue breathing immediately if the victim stops breathing...The systems of shock are weak rapid pulse, shallow rapid breathing, cold clammy skin, paleness, thirstiness, dull eyes, confusion, dilated pupils, nausea possible vomiting, and extreme weakness.”
American Red Cross Community First Aid & Safety by Staywell gave these definitions:
“scrape ( Abrasion : road rash, rug burn: strawberry) Most common type of wound. Caused by skin that has been rubbed or scraped away. Usually painful because scraping away of outer layer of skin exposes nerve endings. Dirt and other mater can easily become ground into the wound, making especially important to clean it. Can easily become infected if not kept clean....Puncture...A wound caused when a pointed object, such as a nail, pierce of glass, or knife, pierces the skin. A gunshot wound is also a puncture wound. Because puncture wounds do not usually bleed a lot, they can easily became infected. Bleeding can be severe if the penetrating object damage major blood vessels or internal organs. Punctures usually do not bleed very much unless a blood vessel has been injured. However, an object that goes into the soft tissues beneath the skin can carry germs deep into the body. The germs can cause infections sometimes serious ones.”
A Bruise(contusion) is:
"Damage to soft tissues and blood vessels cause bleeding under the skin. Tissues discolor and swell. At first, the area may only appear red. Overtimes it may turn dark red or purple. A large or painful bruise may be a signal of severe damage to deep tissues.. A closed wound when the damage to the soft tissue is under the skin's surface, like a bruise. A bruise indicates bleeding under the skin.
American Red Cross Community First Aid & Safety by Staywell also said: "Bleeding occurs when a blood vessel is torn. With any open wounds, bleeding can be severe enough to be life threatening. With an open wound, the blood come through a tear in the skin. Sometimes however, the damaged blood vessel is too large or the pressure in the blood vessel is too great for the blood to clot. Then bleeding can be life threatening. Some closed wounds can be extremely serious, if a victim is in severe pain or cannot move a body part without hurting, he or she probably has a serious injury. The victim may be bleeding internally and need emergency medical help as soon as possible."
“The signs of internal bleeding include tender, swollen, bruised, or hard areas of the abdomen. The symptoms also include rapid weak pulse, skin that feels cool or moist or looks pale or bluish. The patient may be vomiting or coughing up blood. The victim may have excessive thirst. They may be confused, faint, drowsily, or unconscious. The treatment for shock is to call 911. Control severe bleeding with direct pressure. Any severe bleeding can lead to a life threatening condition called shock. Shock is a in which the circulatory system fails to delivery blood to all parts of the body. When the body's organs do not relieves blood, they fails to function properly. This triggers a series of responses that produce specific signals known as shock. It is a life threatening emergency. These responses are the body attempt to maintain adequate blood flow. When someone is injured or suddenly becomes ill, these normal body functions may be interrupted. When the injury is minor, the interruption is brief because the body is able to compensate quickly. With more severe injuries or illnesses, the body may be unable to adjust. When the body is unable to meet its demands for blood, shock occurs. The treatment for shock is to call 911.”
Health in Christian Perspective by A Beka Book said that punctures are “caused by pointed objects piercing the skin." Wash puncture wounds thoroughly with antibacterial soap and water to prevent infections. Seek medical attention as soon as possible, since treatment for tetanus may be needed. Bruise is also called a contusion. A bruise is damage to soft tissues and blood vessels causing bleeding under the skin.
Merriam Webster Dictionary: "Blisters are caused by a raised area on the skin and is caused by injury to the skin."
Merriam Webster Dictionary also said: "Blisters are caused by. A raised area on the skin and is caused by injury to the skin."ever, an object that goes into the soft tissues beneath the skin can carry germs deep into the body. The germs can cause infections sometimes serious ones.”
Dictionary. Com said : “A thin vesicle on the skin, containing watery matter or serum, as from a burn or other injury.”
Heat Illness and DehydrationHealth in Christian Perspective by A Beka Book said:
"Whenever you exercise vigorously, our body rapidly uses up fluids. In the warm weather, you need sufficient water before, during and after physical to prevent dehydration, a serious reduction in your body water content. On humid days, sweat does not evaporate well and build up: then the body sweats even more heavily in an attempt to cool itself."
Heath in Christian Perspective by A Beka Book also said: “To prevent dehydration, a serious reduction in your body water content. On humid days, sweat does not evaporate well and build up: then the body sweats even more heavily in an attempt to cool itself."
Dictionary.com: "dehydration means an act of water from the body, especially from illness or physical exertion....an abnormal loss of water from the body, especially from illness or physical exertion."
Benjamin Wedro, MD Medicine Net said:
“Fluid replacement is the treatment for dehydration. This may be attempted by replacing fluid by mouth, but if this fails, intravenous fluid (IV) may be required. Should oral re-hydration be attempted, frequent small amounts of clear fluids should be used. Clear fluids include most things you can see through.”
“The patient may have a dry mouth. The victim's eyes stop making tears. T he patient's sweating may stop. They may have muscle cramps. They may have nausea and vomiting. They may have heart palpitations. The victim may have lightheadedness (especially when standing). The patient may have weakness.”
WebMd said:
"Heat exhaustion is a heat-related illness that can occur after you've been exposed to high temperatures, and it often is accompanied by dehydration...Although heat exhaustion isn't as serious as heat stroke, it isn't something to be taken lightly. Without proper intervention, heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke, which can damage the brain and other vital organs, and even cause death.”
Treatment for Heat Exhaustion: Immediately get out of the heat and rest in an air-conditioned room if possible or the nearest cool and shady place.
There are two types of heat exhaustion: Water depletion (signs include excessive thirst, weakness, headache, and loss of consciousness) and Salt depletion (nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, and dizziness).
Heat StrokeHeat stroke often occurs as a progression from milder heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), and heat exhaustion. But it can strike even if you have no previous signs of heat injury.
Varnada Norwood, MD said, “Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures -- usually in combination with dehydration -- which leads to failure of the body's temperature control system. The medical definition of heat stroke is a core body temperature greater than 105 degrees Fahrenheit, with complications involving the central nervous system that occur after exposure to high temperatures.”
The signs of heat stroke are: fainting, throbbing headache, dizziness, light-headedness, lack of sweating despite the heat, red, hot, and dry skin, muscle weakness or cramps, nausea and vomiting, rapid heartbeat, which may be either strong or weak, rapid, shallow breathing, confusion, disorientation, or staggering, seizures or unconsciousness.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency. If you suspect someone has heat stroke, call 911.
Cold IllnessHypothermia is a cold related illness. In hypothermia the entire body cools because its ability to keep warm fails.
American Red Cross Community First Aid &. Safety:
'To care for hypothermia, start by caring for any life threatening conditions. Make the victim comfortable. Remove any wet clothing and dry the victim. Warm the the body gradually by wrapping the victim in blankets or putting on dry clothing and moving him or her to a warm place. If they are available, apply heat pads or other heat sources to the body. Keep a barrier, such as a blanket, towel, or clothing, between the heat source and victim to avoid burning him or her. If the victim is alert, Give warm liquids to drink. Hypothermia is a cold related illness.“

Bright concludes that dogs can lick people when they are injured. Dogs can give a lot of love. However people are needed to perform first aid.
