Hi Everyone,

I have a quote from the book Human Sexuality: Contemporary Perspectives
written by Georges Zgourides, Psy.D., HarperCollins College Publishers, NY,
1996 in regards to the morning after pill:
"Another oral contraceptive for women is the morning-after pill, which
releases large amounts of progestin and synthetic estrogen into the
bloodstream over a period of hours or days following coitus.  These high
levels of hormones can cause potentially severe side effects, including
nausea, vomiting, and menstrual cycle disturbances.  For this reason, the
morning after pill--usuallly administered once within 72 hours of
ovulation--is for emergency situations, such as following rape or when other
contraceptive techniques fail."  This is quoted from page 276.  (BTW that 3rd
L in usually is not my typo but the book's... since I was quoting, I wanted
to do it exactly as the book has it).  This is the only info I have on this
for you.

As for magnets, I know they are used in MRI's according to my physiological
psychology book, to get hydrogen atoms to spin so they'll absorb radio waves.
 Then when the radio waves are turned off, the hydrogen atoms which have
absorbed this energy release it...which can then generate images using a
computer, but I don't see how that would affect plugged ducts... would make
for an interesting research project.

With regard to the woman with the rash on her breasts... just a few
thoughts...has her partner started using anything new on *his* hands?  What
about an allergy to latex?  Perhaps when she was examined by someone using
latex gloves she had a reaction?
