It sez:
IF ALLIGATORS AND RODENTS ARE TEAMING UP

Just when did raccoons change from carnivores to rodents?

Raccoons are in the bear genus Ursus. Not rodents.

According to those who know, raccoons are part of the order Carnivora, family Procyonidae. Nothing to do with rodents (order Rodentia), and only distantly related to bears (which are order Carnivora, family Ursidae).

My skins been itching, on My chest, abdomen and arms, I've got red spots that might be slowly fading, possibly from either heat in the bedroom at night or from some new kitchen towels that I'd bought(all 12), I washed the towels after the spots and itching started and I did what I could for Myself, twice. So yeah I'm a bit miserable and I'm trying to scratch as little as possible..

It's that or the new towels, since the areas touched by one of the towels, is the area with a rash, I washed the area twice with Zest soap w/aloe in the soap, I'm almost out of that, next month I'm buying more, for the moment I can't do much.

Thanks Lynn.

I have also red spots popping up and disappearing on my arms and they are itching.
Sometimes I Think it's melanoma.
Go to a doctor for an exame.

My mother did and she was told that her case was not melanoma.

I went and got some Hydrocortisone 1% for the heat rash, since that is what I was told to do today.
