Eye styes are a major problem for many people. Caused by a bacterial infection and irritation to the inner regions of the eyelid, a stye can fester and cause an annoying and unsightly blister at the site of the eyelid. It usually occurs at the corner, and can affect vision and cause extreme discomfort for the sufferer. Practice putting your hands in your pocket or doing something else if you have a habit of touching your eye often with your fingers. 2  Dab your eye with a clean Kleenex or cloth instead if you feel the need to dab your eye. 3  Apply warm tea bags or a warm compress to affected styes to aid in the healing process.

A French research team figured out that by looking at the carbon atoms in mummies that had lived in Egypt between 3500 B.C. and 600 A.D. you could find out what they ate. All carbon atoms are taken in by plants from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the process of photosynthesis.
