Another vaccine, called Td, protects against tetanus and diphtheria, but not pertussis. A Td booster should be given every 10 years. Tdap may be given as one of these boosters if you have never gotten Tdap before. Tdap may also be given after a severe cut or burn to prevent tetanus infection.

Since it's clear that there's nothing wrong with soaking mushrooms, that's the way I clean them. It's fast and thorough. If you've got a colander that fits into a bowl, you can place the mushrooms in the colander, put it into a bowl in the sink, and fill with water.Let them soak for a few minutes, swishing them around with your hands if necessary to get them clean. Then just lift the colander out and drain them.emember, you want them crowded for this method. Add enough water to barely cover the mushrooms. For eight ounces of mushrooms, add about a tablespoon of butter or oil and a teaspoon of kosher salt.
