Details about The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook: Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness:

2021 Nautilus Book Award Winner: A comprehensive guide to staying safe and healthy, physically and mentally, while away at school. College students can feel overwhelmed dealing with illnesses, accidents, or anxieties away from home—and unfortunately, advice from peers and “Dr. Google” can be questionable. The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook provides accurate, trustworthy, evidence-based medical information (served with a dose of humor) for over fifty common issues. What if you can’t sleep well (or can’t sleep at all) in your dorm room? What if a pill “gets stuck” in your throat? What if your roommate falls asleep (or passes out) wearing contacts, and wakes up with one painfully stuck? What should you do for food poisoning? When do you really need X-rays for a sprained ankle or injured toe? What helps severe test anxiety or fear of speaking in class? Dr. Jill Grimes has the answer to these questions and many more. Her guidebook is designed to help you decide when and if to seek medical help, know what you can do immediately about problems, and learn what you can do to prevent them in the future. Got questions about tattoos, smoking, vaping, pot, and piercings? No worries, Dr. Grimes has covered those topics, too, as well as a few things you might not know about the use and abuse of stimulant (ADD) prescription medications. With this book, and the DIY First Aid Kit detailed in the bonus section, students can enjoy a healthier, happier semester!
