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.
The drying process may take up to one month. Keep the gourds in a cool, well-ventilated area and check them every few days. Remove any moisture and mold. If a soft spot forms, discard the gourd. When you hear the seeds rattle inside, it means the gourds are completely dry.
Typically used in phrases that indicate one has gone crazy (lost one's mind,) as in the following examples. You've lost your gourd. You're out of your gourd. You're off your gourd. See more words with the same meaning: head. Last edited on Dec 05 2002.
