For those triggers that cannot be avoided, you can try to compensate with extra care in other ways. For example, when your child has a cold, you can try to ensure he gets lots of sleep and nutritious foods. Some triggers may become more of an issue as your child gets older.
barnacle. n. 1. (Animals) any of various marine crustaceans of the subclass Cirripedia that, as adults, live attached to rocks, ship bottoms, etc. They have feathery food-catching cirri protruding from a hard shell. See acorn barnacle, goose barnacle.
In the stalked barnacles the body is divided into a capitulum. containing feeding appendages (cirri and mouthparts) and most. other organs, and a peduncle or stalk by which the animal is atÂ­. tached to the substratum. The capitulum and sometimes the peÂ­. duncle are armored with characteristic calcareous plates.
