Dealing With Small Red Bumps on Your Body? Doctors Weigh In on When to Worry

When it comes to small red bumps springing up on your body, there are many possible culprits.

If you have acne , you’re probably all too aware of that, too.

According to the World Health Organization , the seasonal flu kills somewhere between 290,000 to 650,000 a year. While this may sound scary, the good news is the spread of the influenza virus can be slowed.

As the office prank master, she was understandably confused. Everyone else in the office thought she had staged the ducks in her own office, so she had to hunt down the culprit.  Turns out, the CEO of the company (named Jason) was to blame for the new additions! "I cornered him in the kitchen, and I was like, 'Did you bring in the big ducks?" and he was like, 'Did you bring in the mini ducks?' and then I was like, 'As a matter of fact, I did,' a...
