Swimmer's Ear

Caused by a combination of prolonged exposure to heat and moisture- a long swim on a hot day

Here are four things you can do:

1. Limit the time in the water for the child whose infection keeps coming back. The amount will have to be determined by trial and error but in most cases should be less than one hour

2. Let the ears dry completely for an hour or two before going back in the water. If your child is aware of water in the ear, have him or her shake the head to loosen the water and dry the ear with the corner of the towel. it's okay to take daily showers or baths so long as they are brief and the ears are dried afterwards.

3. Make a solution of equal parts of water and vinegar or vinegar and rubbing alcohol. put a few drops in each ear when the child gets up, after each swim, and at bedtime, and let the solution stay in the ear for at least five minutes each time.

if a swimmer's ear occurs.......

Keep the ear dry and make sure nothing is stuck in it that might cause injury. Dry it with a small lull of cotton. The cotton swabs on a stick are too big for this purpose.

After treatment begins, the child should stay out of the water for at least seven days. this depends on how quickly the pain, itching, and swelling goes away. It is premissible to shower or bathe daily and shampoo every other day if the ear is dried immediately afterwards and ear drops are used.

Field-Expedient Direction Finding

Using The Sun and Shadows

Step 1
place the stick or branch into the ground at level spot where it will cast a distinctive shadow. Mark the shadow's tip with a stone, twig, or other means. This first shadow mark is alwys west- everywhere on earth

Step 2
Wait 10 to 15 minutes until the shadow tip moves a few centimeters. Mark the shadow tip's new position in the same way as the first

Step 3
Draw a straight line trough the two marks to obtain an approximate east0west line

Step 4
Stand withe first mark (west) to your left and the second mark to your right-you are now facing north. this fact is true everywhere on earth

Using The Watch Method

In the northern hemisphere, hold the watch horizontal and point the hour hand at the sun. Bisect the angle between the hourhand and the 12 o'clock mark to get the north-south line. If there is any doubt as to which end of the line is north, remember that the sun rises is the east, sets in the west, and is due south at noon. The sun is in the east before noon and in west after noon

Using The Moon

We say there is a new moon or no moon when it is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun. Then, as it moves away from the earth's shadow, it begins to reflact light from it's right side and waxes to become a full moon before morning, or losing shape, to appear as a silver on the left side. you can use this information to identify direction. If the moon rises before the sun has set, the illuminated side will be the west. If the moon rises after midnight, the illuminated side will be the east.
