Diatomaceous earth is not poisonous; it does not have to be eaten in order to be effective. Diatomaceous earth causes insects to dry out and die by absorbing the oils and fats from the cuticle of the insect's exoskeleton.
Pace, plod, trudge refer to a steady and monotonous kind of walking. Pace suggests steady, measured steps as of one completely lost in thought or impelled by some distraction: to pace up and down. Plod implies a slow, heavy, laborious, weary walk: The mailman plods his weary way.
The pacing generator is connected to 1 to 4 pacing wires and may or may not require a connecting cable between the wires and the generator. The last element of pacing is the patientâs own cardiac tissue. Failure to pace may be due to a malfunction or disruption of mechanical components.
