Swimming pools have sting in tail
Michael J. Beach of the US Centres for Disease Control's healthy water programme has revealed why people get stinging eyes while swimming in pools. "Chlorine binds with all the things it's trying to kill from your bodies, and it forms these chemical irritants. That's what's stinging your eyes. It's the chlorine binding to the urine and the sweat," he explained
Motorway accident victim says thanks for help
Steve writes: "On Sunday, I was riding my motorbike down SH1 by Tip Top corner when the driver of a truck-and-trailer unit decided to change lanes into the lane I was in, hitting me with his rear trailer, causing me to crash. I'd just like to say thanks to the off-duty fireman who came to my aid and called emergency services and stayed with me, the young guy who stopped to see if I needed anything, the four guys who stopped and got my bike out from under the barrier and off the motorway, Sara and Carter for helping with the police and who stayed while the bike was towed, the three ladies from St John Ambulance who were amazing and took great delight in cutting all my clothes off me, the police officers who tried to find the truck, and Auckland City Hospital staff who put my shoulder back in place. Look twice before changing lanes, people, and motorcyclists, always wear your gear - without it I would have had more than a dislocated shoulder and some bruising! If you saw the accident happen around 9am on Sunday, please contact the police so we can find the truck driver."
