Best Answer: An anion gap is the sum of routinely measured cations minus the routinely measured anions in blood. It is measured because it is often the first laboratory sign of an acid-base disorder. The normal range is 5 - 16 mmol/L.
Boil water notices are typically issued when an unexpected condition has caused a potential for biological contamination of water in a public water system. Common reasons for a boil water notice include loss of pressure in the distribution system, loss of disinfection, and other unexpected water quality problems. These often result from other events such as water line breaks, treatment disruptions, power outages and floods.
Normally, a boil bursts within 10 days of being soaked in warm water, notes WebMD. When the boil is drained completely, wash the area with warm water and antibacterial soap two or three times every day. Do not pop a boil with a needle, as this can make the infection worse. A person experiencing fever, severe pain or sees a second boil appear needs medical attention, reports WebMD. A boil that is not draining, appears red or has red streaks around it also requires medical treatment.
