B) "You’re clearly allergic to the fiberglass in your insulation, and over-the-counter allergy medications are likely to resolve the problem quite rapidly."

Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "A steroid cream will likely help, but often the skin problem lasts long after contact with the product that irritates the skin."

Explanation:

Steroid creams are prescribed as palliative treatments because they help to reduce the level of skin's inflammation but they not attack the underlying cause of the inflammation. In this case, the 31 year-old man has being in contact with fiberglass insulation during several years, and he tried to use moisturizing creams with no significant improvements. Therefore, it is very likely that this palliative treatments are not enough to treat his problems which the care provider could summarize by the phrase "a steroid cream will likely help, but often the skin problem lasts long after contact with the product that irritates the skin".

Risk of using bio pharmaceuticals
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The potential risks associated with plant-based pharmaceuticals include: pollen transfer to related species, contamination of non-transgenic crops intended for the consumption by humans, allergic reactions to the drugs produced from the genetically engineered plant, and persistence of genetically engineered material to persist in the environment and accumulate in non-target organisms. Risk assessment of plant-made pharmaceuticals should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis because the plants used to produce proteins each have different risks associated with them.

What's average temperature for a city fir a year
victus00 [196]

Answer:  

Average annual temperature in US cities would range between 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit  

Explanation:  

There are several factors that can influence the temperature of city in general. Higher altitude has a lower temperature because it has less air density and absorbs less sunlight. The city latitude coordinate also determines how much sunlight they will get. The closer the city to the equator, the more sunlight they can get.

Distance to the sea will influence the rate of rainfall and also influence temperature. Ocean currents can move hot water from other regions too.
