If you are pressed for time, you will not be able to thaw the whole chicken in the refrigerator. You can quickly thaw a whole chicken in cold water or in the microwave, then proceed to cook the chicken the way you prefer.
Hi, platelets are meant to clot so nothing to worry about there. Also, you have a low normal amount so also no extra risk of clots. You shouldn't have a bleeding problem unless your platelets drop quite low...well below normal.. Having said this, the presence of large platelets indicate that something is wrong. It could be something as simple as having had a virus that knocked your platelet count down and to compensate your bone marrow is throwing out young immature larger cells to make up the numbers.
When your blood has too few platelets, mild to serious bleeding can occur. Bleeding can occur inside your body (internal bleeding) or underneath your skin or from the surface of your skin (external bleeding). A normal platelet count in adults ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.A platelet count of less than 150,000 platelets per microliter is lower than normal. If your blood platelet count falls below normal, you have thrombocytopenia.However, the risk for serious bleeding doesn't occur until the count becomes very lowâless than 10,000 or 20,000 platelets per microliter.leeding can occur inside your body (internal bleeding) or underneath your skin or from the surface of your skin (external bleeding).
