Famous Celebrity Moles

http://healthybodylife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Famous-Celebrity-Moles.jpg Contrary to what you may see in glossy magazines and on the big screen, not even celebrities are perfect. In fact, there are many instances where imperfections, such as facial moles, have become a celebrity’s signature feature. Beneath the makeup and before airbrushing, celebrities look remarkably like the rest of us. The following are a few stars with memorable and famous moles:

 


Robert DeNiro


The acting bigwig's mole has been exaggerated by cartoonists, mocked in his own films and poked fun at it countless sketch comedies.

 

Cindy Crawford


Marilyn Monroe made moles a symbol of beauty and sophistication, and Cindy Crawford kept that idea going for another generation. Her famous mole became a symbol of exotic beauty, and women around the world tried to emulate it with eyeliner and even press-on moles.

 

Paula Abdul


This singer has graced the cover of many magazines, sold millions of records and did a stint as a judge on American Idol, and she has rocked her cheek mole through it all.

 

Christian Bale


Even Batman isn't perfect. The Welsh actor has a mole just below the inner corner of his right eye, but it has not stopped him from gaining millions of adoring fans.

 

Enrique Iglesias


The Latin crooner is one of the few on this list that went under the knife to rid his face of a prominent mole. The trademark mole does, however, live on in many of Iglesias' early music videos and can be seen in the film “Once Upon a Time in Mexico.”

 

Angelina Jolie


Jolie's eyebrow-topping mole is often overlooked because of her luscious lips, strong facial features and expressive eyes.

 

Ewan McGregor


The Aussie actor is still heart-stopping sexy, even with his many pronounced moles.

 

Rachel McAdams


McAdams has a number of moles that begin just below her mouth and form a constellation down across her neck. Her stunning figure and winning smile make up for the imperfections.

 

Matt Damon


It does not take much hunting to find moles on Matt Damon. His upper lip is marked with a bulbous bulge, and topless scenes in many movies have revealed his back full of moles.

 

Sarah Jessica Parker


The “Sex and the City” star shocked fans in 2008 when her famous mole mysteriously and suddenly disappeared from her chin. Although many critics complained about her surgically removing her “signature,” Parker is pleased with the result.

 

Jason Schwartzman


Schwartzman's facial mole takes center stage in films like “Rushmore” and “Marie Antoinette.”

 

Jessica Simpson


The blond bombshell calls much attention to her face during her skin care commercials, but no product will remove the mole that graces her chin.

Top 5 Dangerous Ants That Deliver Fatal Bites

http://healthybodylife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Dangerous-Ants-That-Deliver-Fatal-Bites.jpg Ants are small creatures that don't look intimidating at all. They seem unable to do any real harm to creatures as big as humans. Unfortunately, these ants are capable of inflicting nasty bites which in some cases can be fatal. Although most ant bites only cause minor pain, there are certain ant species that deliver poisonous bites that can kill a full grown man.

 

 

There are ant species that inflict painful bites that result to severe symptoms. The symptoms may include swelling, itching, and pain. Individuals who suffer from allergic reactions due to ant venom may suffer from severe, life-threatening symptoms, including excessive swelling, breathing difficulty, vomiting, confusion, and nausea. Listed in this article are some of the most dangerous ants that can deliver painful and deadly bites.

 


1. Bullet Ant


This ant specie got its name from the painful bite it inflicts upon its victim. The sting from their bite has the same sensation as getting shot. It has been said that bullet ants deliver the most painful insect sting in the world. The pain also lasts for 24 hours, and they can attack their victims and sting them to death. These ants usually live in trees and they are about an inch long. They usually attack their victims when they feel threatened or when their nest is disturbed.

 

2. Red Fire Ants


They usually feed on plants and seeds; however, if this ant specie is disturbed or threatened, they can attack humans and small animals by biting and delivering toxic alkaloid venom. The sting delivered by these ants is similar to the sensation of being burned by fire. Recently, this ant specie has become a huge problem in the United States.

 

3. Bulldog Ants


In the past, these ants can be found all around the world but today, they are now mostly found in Australia. Bulldog ants are known for their venom laced stingers that can take down their prey and enemies. In addition, their powerful stings can also result to allergic reactions. They are even said to be the main culprit behind a number of deaths in Australia every year.

 

4. Red Harvester Ants


They are also called Maricopa ants and they are one of the most venomous ant species in the world. They deliver painful sting that spreads through the lymph nodes which result to fatal reactions, especially to those victims who are allergic to their venom. In fact, their sting is so lethal that 12 stings can bring down a 2kg rodent.

 

5. Army Ants


They are mostly found in Africa, and their queen is considered as the largest ant in the whole world. These ants will eat anything that crosses their path, without any exceptions. They are even capable of eating a full grown man because once these ants get a hold of you; it will be very difficult to get away.

 

These are just five of the most dangerous ant species found around the world. Remember though that the severity of ant bites will depend on the species that bit you. Common household ants do not usually inflict painful and deadly bites, but if you ever come across dangerous ants, such as red fire ants, you need to do the following:

  • Wash the bite site with disinfectant soap and water. Use a clean towel to dry the area.

  • Mix baking soda with water until it becomes a paste. Apply it on the bite site. This remedy will help reduce inflammation and itching.

  • You can take antihistamine if you are allergic to ant venom.

  • Avoid scratching the bite since it might lead to infection if the bite becomes an open wound.

  • Lastly, you must consult your doctor if you start feeling unusual symptoms.
