Summer Travel Safety Tips – Ask the Experts on Baton Rouge Moms

June 17, 2019 by Guest Contributor

“Ask the Experts” is a series on Baton Rouge Moms where local experts share their thoughts, opinions and answer questions relating to health, wellness, parenting and living in Baton Rouge. This week on Ask the Experts, Smith Shanklin Sosa, fellow Baton Rouge parents, are sharing a few Summer Travel Safety Tips.

Summer and road trips go together like peas and carrots. Traveling during these high traffic times can be dangerous and it is important to be extra cautious when sharing the road with large trucks and buses. Even though truck drivers are well aware of the dangers their vehicles present to other passenger vehicles, I can guarantee that this mama is not going to trust my family’s safety to another driver. As a personal injury attorney, I have seen beautiful vacations turn tragic on highways and interstates. Follow my top 3 Summer Travel Safety Tips and put your family and yourself in a better position to avoid tragic accidents.

Summer Travel Safety Tips

Be Aware of the “No Go Zones”

Large trucks and buses have huge blind spots as shown in the below photo. It is best to spend as little time as possible in these “No Go Zones”. If you have a feeling that the driver of a large truck or bus does not see you, make some noise and honk that horn. I know that horns can make you feel like your yelling at the other drivers on the road, but I personally have avoided my fair share of accidents by letting my horn rip.

Safe Passing

Make sure you can see the driver in the vehicle mirror. If you do not see the driver, it is best to assume he/she cannot see you. When passing a truck or bus, make sure the truck or bus is visible in your rearview mirror before you pull in front giving extra space. If possible, it is a good idea to avoid passing trucks and buses when you are traveling downhill. These big trucks and buses take longer to stop and you do not want to be on the receiving end of their failure to slow down.

Avoid Wide Turns

Buses and trucks make wide turns. Be aware that these trucks usually have around a 55-foot turning radius. A lot of times truck/bus drivers will swing wide to accommodate this turning radius and you want to avoid them swinging into your vehicle.

Atomic Burger – Clean Eats in Baton Rouge

June 5, 2019 by Rochelle Calhoun

So my husband’s birthday was on Saturday, but because he’s awesome, we began the celebration on Thursday night. We maintain strictly, clean eating habits, but his birthday was a good opportunity to take a little break, while still allowing him to enjoy his favorite activity, eating. After eating at his favorite local breakfast hangout, I decided to take him to Atomic Burger for lunch. It’s a new fast-casual restaurant located on Burbank and Lee. They’ve been open for a few weeks and we’d heard rave reviews about them so we were excited.

So let’s talk about why this place is a big deal for us. We make every effort to avoid chemical processing in every area of our lives, especially our food. Sure there are lots of restaurants where you can get a hamburger and fries, but we value eateries that take pride in the sourcing and preparation of their menu items. Atomic Burger seems to do just that. Their beef is ground fresh in house, they slice their own potatoes, and their produce is freshly prepared. In addition, they have a variety of options for those with dietary restrictions, and that was the cherry on top.

The design of the restaurant has a very retro, yet modern style to it, kind of like the In-and-Out Burger restaurants back home in LA. There were a few guests in line, but we didn’t mind the wait because we could smell the awesomeness as soon as we walked in the door. What really impressed us was the Gluten Free (Products made without wheat, spelt, kamut, farro, durum, bulgar, semolina, barley, rye, and triticale) and Keto Friendly (low-carb/high fat) Cauliflower bun and lettuce wrap options. Our family has very strict dietary guidelines due to my wheat allergy and our son’s eczema that’s triggered by wheat, dairy, and eggs. There aren’t many places where we can all enjoy a full meal without too many substitutions, so we appreciate their consideration of those with alternative dietary needs.

The Cauliflower Bun and Keto options are a nice touch for those with dietary restrictions. They also offer veggie and turkey burgers.

We both ordered the Atomic Burger with grilled onions and Cauliflower bun, and a side of fries to share. Although they do have shakes, our lactose intolerance just couldn’t handle the dairy. However, their shakes aren’t just the usual ice cream in a cup type shakes. They’re actually chilled to order using liquid nitrogen (yep, you read that correctly). I promise you I stood there in a daze, fascinated by the process! One day, I may live on the wild side and try one. But I digress…

By the time we ordered, picked up a few condiments from the bar, and found a table on the enclosed patio, our food was ready. Now before I tell you about the burger, let’s discuss this condiment bar. The hubs and I are both suckers for condiments. (Like seriously! Our fridge contains an ungodly amount of them) So you can just imagine the joy we felt in our hearts when we saw toppings like Roasted Garlic Aioli (our fave), Truffle Mayo, and Sriracha Mayo! We were in condiment heaven! Okay, so back to the burger. The Cauliflower bun was a pleasant alternative to the typical lettuce wrap. It had the texture of a fried egg and didn’t fall apart or get all messy like a lettuce wrap either. I really don’t like the taste of cauliflower, but I honestly couldn’t even tell it was the main ingredient.

Dip the fry! Trust me! The Garlic Aioli is magical!

The patties had that signature beefiness that you want on a burger, and it honestly reminded me of In-and-Out burger as well. Especially with the grilled onions. The fries, (drool) were homemade. No one had to tell me they were freshly sliced because I could tell! They had a soft, fleshy potato center and a slight crisp on the outside. Perfect! You just can’t get that flavor or texture from frozen fries. And I must say, the Garlic Aioli made a perfect dip.

After finishing the burger, although I was full, I wasn’t “loosen my pants” stuffed, and that was a good thing. The cauliflower bun gave me the satisfaction of a “real” burger without an actual wheat derived bun. I can dig it! While eating burgers and fries are not our typical household meal, it’s great to have options available where we can enjoy a burger made with fresh ingredients instead of all of the heavily processed, chemically altered ones.

Overall, we enjoyed our visit and our food. So much so, that we’re adding it to our list of places to go in Baton Rouge. Have you tried Atomic Burger yet? Let us know your thoughts on Facebook. Until next time…

Parents Ultimate Guide to Insect Repellent for Kids

May 20, 2019 by Dr. Mindy Calandro

It’s that time of year again, with warmer weather comes the return of Louisiana’s second state bird… the mosquito! In this installment of our Ask the Expert series, Dr. Mindy Calandro shares the best way to protect yourself and your kiddos from those pesky, Southern mosquitoes.

N,N dimethyl-m-toluamide (DEET)– This compound has been used as an insect repellent since the 1940s, and it is the insect repellent that is likely most widely known. DEET insect repellents may last anywhere from 2-8 hours depending on what percentage of DEET is contained in the products. On average, products with 10% DEET will last about 2 hours while those closer to 30% DEET will last closer to 8 hours. There are products available with DEET concentrations higher than 30%, but studies show that these products do not provide any longer/additional protection. DEET can protect against not only mosquitoes that transmit West Nile Virus and Zika virus but also against biting flies, gnats and ticks that can carry Lyme disease (although our ticks here in Louisiana do not carry Lyme disease). Now, a quick Google search will produce results citing that DEET can cause neurologic issues namely seizures. This sure makes for good headlines, but the bottom line is that there have been 10 reported cases of seizures in children after applying DEET products to the skin in over 50 years!! The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the risk of adverse reaction when DEET is appropriately used (i.e. applied only on the skin according to the recommended time intervals) is on the order of 1 per 100,000,000 people!

So what are the downsides to DEET? Well, if you have ever used a repellent containing DEET, you may recall a rather strong smell and a bit of a greasy feel. Also, DEET can cause skin irritation for those with particularly sensitive skin. Finally, DEET can cause damage to materials such as plastics, rubber, or leather so make sure to wash your hands prior to touching things like eyeglass frames, golf clubs or certain water bottles.

Recommendation for use: DEET 30% or less is ok for children 2 months of age and older.

Common Insect Repellent with DEET: Off! Familycare and Deep Woods, Cutter Skinsations and All Family, Repel Family

Picaridin– This product was approved by the Center for Disease Control for use as an insect repellent in April 2005 although it has been used for many years prior to this in other countries. Picaridin is created from the extract of the leaves from the pepper plant and has really no odor, does not damage plastics, and has less risk of skin irritation when compared to DEET products. Picaridin products are available in strengths from 5-20% with approximately 3-5 hours of protection with a 10% formulation. Studies show that Picaridin can protect people from many of the same biting insects that DEET protects from including those pesky mosquitos that carry West Nile and Zika virus.

So what is the downside to Picaridin? Since it is a relatively new product approved by the CDC and EPA, there are not as many long-term studies available here in the US. However, based on what we know of this compound as well as reviewing many years of data from other countries on the use of Picaridin, it seems that Picaridin is likely a very safe and effective alternative to DEET.

Recommendations for use: 10% Picaridin lotions for children 2 months and older.

Common products with Picaridin: Avon Skin so Soft Bug Guard, Natrapel, Sawyer Picaridin

Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus– If we are talking about the CDC and EPA approved version of this compound, it is actually a chemically synthesized version of oil of lemon eucalyptus and not the “pure” oil. Most versions of this repellent you will find are concentrations of 30% and can provide about 2 hours of protection. However, the data is still out on if oil of lemon eucalyptus can protect as well as DEET or picaridin against West Nile mosquitos. Another important thing to know about oil of lemon eucalyptus is that it should not be used on children under 3 years of age because of risk of skin irritation as well as significant eye irritation.

Recommendations for use: Only in children 3 and older, and I would consider it a distant 3rd to DEET and picaridin

Common products with Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus: Repel Lemon Eucalyptus, Off! Botanicals

Plant based oils: In this final category, we will group all essential oils but those referenced most commonly include soybean, lemongrass, citronella, peppermint, and lavender. It is important to realize that none of these oils have been approved by the EPA or CDC for efficacy in protecting against insects. If these products do provide any protection from bug bites, and that is a big “if,” it is likely a very short window of less than 1 hour. Also, as with all essentials oils, I would use extreme caution with these products on children with sensitive skin.

Recommendations for use: In my mind, I would not use these as insect repellents.

Common products with plant-based oils: California Baby Natural Bug Blend, Babyganics Natural Insect Repellent

A few things to keep in mind no matter what type of insect repellent you choose:

For young children, parents should use their hand to apply the repellent to children rather than spraying it on them. For those children who tend to put their hands in their mouth, do not put the repellent on the hands.
Do not apply in close proximity to the eyes or mouth of children
Do not apply to open cuts or wounds
Products that are a combination of sunscreen AND insect repellent should not be used. Since sunscreen should be applied every 2 hours, this would lead to most insect repellents being applied far too frequently.
When coming inside make sure to wipe/wash all insect repellent off prior to children getting into bed.

As you and your family are enjoying the last days of summer, and if you are like me, looking forward to the upcoming fall, realize that those pesky mosquitos will be hanging around for at least another few months. Across the board for all of those 2 months of age and older, there may be many options out there when it comes to insect repellents, but I would recommend sticking with either a DEET or picaridin based product to provide the most protection for your loved ones.
