Set the whole thing in the campfire coals; the 6-mm-thick bottom keeps heat distributed evenly.

Fires are already popping up across Colorado, New Mexico, and west into Oregon and California.

The Complexity of Simply Searching For Medical Advice Jul 03, 2018

Show notes

In the first few hours of a newborn’s life, doctors administer a vitamin K shot. This is because infants are born without enough of the vitamin, and the baby needs a boost to prevent any potential bleeding. This is a routine practice—ask your pediatrician, your obstetrician, or the CDC. “Babies are born with very low stores of vitamin K, and without the Vitamin K shot ... they do not have enough Vitamin K in their blood to form a clot,” the CDC says on its website.
