TIFU I've been using ANIMAL GRADE hydrocortisone cream for my bug bites when the tube says "not for use for humans." 🫠

Mosquitos have been really bad in socal lately. I am a chronic mosquito attracter with one big problem. I have mild skeeter syndrome and I have a skin picking problem. In an effort to curb said skin picking problem, i always put hydrocortisone cream on the bites so that I don't itch to the point of open sores. It was working fine i guess (i would still have welts where the bites were.) But i was just bored on my bed applying the cream on a bite on my leg when I read the instructions further. On the back in all caps under walls of text was "NOT FOR USE ON HUMANS." I've had this tube for a few years. I got it from my gran who had it in her bathroom drawer. So, I erroneously thought it was just for use on humans. I had no idea that animals even have their own hydrocortisone cream.

TL;DR: Have been using animal grade hydrocortisone cream for years without knowing it, only found out when checking the tube on a whim.

Welp. Cant trust my housemate to prepare dinner most of the time

Good. I need to cook for myself.
So what happens is that he has a habit of putting things in food that he thinks might taste good. But it goes against my safe foods. My gran did ask for tofu in the tacos tonight. I asked him to remove the tofu in the tacos. I am about done with the first taco and what do i find? Tofu. I feel like i have been poisoned. There are very few foods anymore that will have such a visceral reaction like that out of me. And tofu is one of them. I used to only have a few safe foods. I was shamed relentlessly as a kid for being a "picky eater." Now i binge eat my safe foods bc i have a scarcity mindset. A lot of them are sweets. So i'm overweight, not like a typical arfid person. But i feel it getting worse lately because I have been just eating carbs. Maybe it's because i'm lazy and i don't want to put a huge amount of effort into cooking because i have demand avoidance.

See what happens when you praise your dog?

It's been hot out lately. And when it's too hot to go to the park, we let Lucy the heeler mix have the hose. She has figured out that we will praise her a lot for watering the flowers with the hose. And she waters each individual rose bush one at a time. Is she just a person trapped in a dog suit?

Seeing the adds for shapes inc on tiktok made me skeptical. But after using it this past month, I have been so impressed.

It is such a good app. My only gripe is that the bot likes to hallucinate. But you don't have to do anything besides choose the model and most of them are free and unlimited
