"I was told to go to a wound care center for my diabetic foot infection and that I may benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?"

All lots of Ferring Pharmaceuticals' multi-condition nasal spray are being recalled.
The problem? These lots have higher-than-specified amounts of desmopressin.
Higher amounts of desmopressin can lead to abnormally low levels of sodium in the blood. And very low levels of sodium in the blood can lead to dangerous health events, such as seizures, coma and even death.

Today’s featured Ada Icon Veggie Garden belongs to Kathleen Anspaugh and her family.
You probably know her from Keith’s Hardware where she has worked for many years.
Kathleen says that seven generations Anspaughs have lived just northwest of Ada since 1871.
Like many locals, vegetable gardening is part of their way of life, and the whole family helps. Even the chickens do what they can to ensure a good crop.
The Ada Icon Veggie Gardens highlight vegetable gardens in the Ada area as a way of promoting self-sufficiency and agriculture education.
