When one undergoes irradiation on the scalp (skin cancer) or the brain, then a larger hat that won't actually touch the scalp is necessary to protect the injured tissues.

I have seen similar head protection on someone getting radiation treatments to the scalp for skin cancer, as well as more extensive radiation for brain tumors. Hubby's was for skin cancer. Idea is to completely protect irradiated areas which will burn and can become infected.

If your disease is not known and you have not sought appropriate medical advice, then that is upon you. The possibility of allergic reaction with any medication is always understood and why they asked people to wait at least 15 minutes before leaving to see if they had a reaction to the carrier.

Hunger, yes. But not poor. Lots of ppl say they are poor, but a lot of them also have food to eat. Food insecurity means just what it say - ppl do not have a secure source of food.

But do you believe all β€˜poor’ people are lacking food? What is your definition of β€˜poor’?

Not astounding because these are ppl who don’t really care about anything but themselves.

You are assuming we all agree on the definition of poor. Being poor in a major metro area is different than being poor in rural agricultural areas.

A person can be β€˜poor’ and have enough to eat. Food insecurity or hungry says someone can not count on getting enough calories/nutrients each day.

Staying ppl are food insecure identifies the problem. You can be β€˜poor’ and still have food to eat every day. That your lack of understanding of the difference shows just how far education has cratered in this country.

No, climate change says what is happening, global warming seems to indicate it was be warmer every day. Not true, as it can actually get colder in some areas during winter do to increase in storm intensity.

Poor means you don’t have a lot of money. Food insecurity means you have no consistent ability to get food. Those are 2 different things. Do you not understand the difference?

It is possible to be poor, but still have enough to eat. Food insecurity is about not being sure there will be any food available for you. Could it be that ppl are so illiterate that they no longer have the ability to communicate at an adult level?

We were unhoused for 9 yrs, but not homeless. Out home was a 38’ diesel pusher pulling a car.

Never, ever, underestimate just how scientifically illiterate the US population has become.

What do you think they could do to stop it? The courts are letting him do anything he wants, Dems don’t have votes to stop it.

It wasn’t 90 yr olds now, leading the march, we are not 82 and younger. War babies were born after Pearl Harbor and while few in number, we started the β€˜fire’ opening the doors for boomers behind us.

As someone alive then I find it remarkable that no one mentions Jackson State shootings in May of 1970, just Kent State.

No you are busy making excuses for ppl to lazy to vote because they’d get everything they want and thus we get a #RichWhiteMaleDictatorship. Bye Felicia

You are the threatening not to vote for Democrats, thus I assume you won vote and will let #RichWhiteMaleDictatorship continue.

And thus you don’t vote and allow a #RichWhiteMaleDictatorship? Really are you that small that you can’t see the big picture?

What specifically were you looking for that camp used you to not vote? And was it worth having a #RichWhiteMaleDictatorship ?

And how is that going? I’ve been voting for 59 yrs, every election. Have never voted for a Republican which means a lot of my candidates list, but wasn’t ashamed of them. You will never have a candidate that meets 100% of your requirements. But small changes lead to more changes.
