Lanes and (illegal) lanes into the sunset

The government’s sanitationprogramme in villages isprogressing well and everywherein villages, new toilets, such asthese can be seen. Thisparticular toilet, was posted bywell known local marathonrunner, Daniel Makua, on hisFacebook page (three times),saying that he is thankful for thenew facility at his house in Ga-Mampuru, except that it is aboutto fall in on him and his family.While travelling in the areaPlatinum Gazette has seenothers that do not look verystable. Maybe extra care shouldbe taken when ensuring thesturdiness during construction?

Like a rock or not?

Three lanes where only two are supposed tobe. Burgersfort’s traffic remains a problem,but also give time to appreciate a nicesunset. When the Platinum Gazette’s editorexclaimed to a number of traffic cops grid-locked like everybody else (but in theopposite direction) “You should start

working!” they hit back with “what are yousaying?” to great entertainment of a taxi withabout 50 passengers inside, who burst outlaughing in unison. (In their defence, theydid work, quickly sorting out a problem ofspilt paint in the middle of the road, gettingthe mass moving again).

Thabiso Mogakane is your friendlypharmacist at Greater TubatsePharmacy.

Approximately 90% ofadults are infected with thevirus that causes cold sores- although only about 40%

may experience anoutbreak

Cold sores are small, painful blisters that usualy occuron or around your lips. They are often called feverblisters.They are caused by the herpes simplex viruswhich you can get through kissing, sharing dishes, tow-els or utensils with someone who’s infected.Cold sores usually clear on their own after a week ortwo, but anti-viral creams that can be applied as soonas you feel the tingle of them starting to appear, andthis can usually speed up the healing process.Sun exposure and stress are factors that can help trig-ger flare-ups of the virus. It often accompanies flu orcolds when the body’s immune system is at a low.Trying to cover the cold sores with make-up can some-times just cause it to get worse as the chemicals in make-up can aggrevate the problem.It can help to get a new toothbrush after the blistershave cleared up as toothbrushes can harbour the virus.To help prevent flare-ups you can use sunscreen or lip-stick with a sun protection factor of 15 or higher.Ask your friendly pharmacist about over the countertreatments available to help with the problem. You canalso get booster vitamins from your pharmacy to helpbuild a strong immune system.
