I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.

Can I take two Crocin Advance tablets together if I have a really bad headache? Would that be too much, and what should I do if it is?

No you are not supposed to take two tablets at once,if already taken no need to worry once will not cause serious problems,but over dose would cause sever gastritis,liver damage etc.,

Is there any chance I need to get another antirabies shot if a street dog just brushed against me? I'm a bit worried because I had the injection about 2 years ago. How long do these shots last anyway?

If you've already received a rabies injection 2 years ago, you typically only need 2 doses of the vaccine after a new exposure. This is because the immunity from the previous vaccination usually lasts for a long time, often 2-5 years or more, depending on the individual and the type of vaccine used
