Brown Stripe Diaper
Some sort of bug...help?
Right now we are in the dead of winter and today I was changing my sons diaper on my bed when I found what looked like some sort of worm type insect crawling around his head. It was striped reddish brown and black with a bunch of legs and reddish thin feelers at one end. I don't know where it came from or what it is and I would like to know as I want to make sure that if I find more they are not too much of a health risk for my children. It was about an inch long. Can someone help me. Finding a picture online is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Please help. If you have ideas (and even pictures) let me know, this concerns me. Thank you
Sounds like a millipede or centipede. Try www.whatsthatbug.com for pictures.
It is not likely to be harmful assuming you live in the UK.

How to Grow and Care for Skin Healing Aloe Vera Succulents as Houseplants or in the Garden
Aloe Vera, known as the healing plant, is easy to care for indoors in containers or in the garden. It is a drought tolerant succulent plant which grows well in dry shade to part sun. Its bright green stalks grow up to 1 foot long and up to 2 inches thick They usually have creamy white stripes or dots along the leaves. Aloe plants grow upright and spread with time by creating offsets. Perennial aloe produces dramatic, bright orange flowers on long stalks in the spring and summer. Used medicinally aloe vera gel is beneficial for burns, minor cuts, scrapes, insect bites and other skin irritations.
Drought resistant aloe is great for in dry gardens with other succulents and cacti. They don't mind heat as long as they don't get too much sun. It is even reliable in dry shade. Aloe does best in light or dappled shade on the porch or on the windowsill. One to two hours of direct sun is plenty. Dark brown or orange spots on the leaves is a sign of sunburn. Aloe vera is easy to care for and only needs water once a month or when the stalks become shriveled. Planted in the ground, it can tolerate more drought and will grow slightly larger. Aloes are cold hardy to about 45 degrees. They may survive a light frost with overhead protection. I wouldn't leave them outdoors in the open if Jack Frost visits your area frequently. Indoors, they are suited to the hot dry conditions of the average home. They will tolerate a few hours of sun a day, but should be fine anywhere with lots of bright, indirect sunlight.
Aloe vera plants form offset pups and will eventually become a clump. Mine started out in a small 4 inch pot from the nursery. Normally, you should repot plants in a slightly larger container. But I planted my aloe in a huge 12 inch pot, knowing it would fill in. Who has time to repot their plants all the time? To keep the pot from looking empty, I planted a small trailing succulent around the edges. They have similar cultivation needs, so they get along great and look terrific. After the first year, my aloe created lots of offsets and filled in the container nicely. The new shoots are easy to tease out from the main plant so I can replant them or give them to friends.
Aloe vera is famous for its healing benefits and is commonly grown in kitchen gardens to help with minor burns and other skin problems. To use aloe, work with one inch chunks cut from the tips of the leaves. Peel off the spines and cut open the chunk. Squeeze out the aloe juice and pulp onto sunburns or other skin irritations. Spread it around with your fingers or the aloe peel. It will feel cold on burns. The juice may feel sticky at first, but will eventually dry out, leaving a slight green tint. Apply 1 - 2 times a day to cool off burns and help heal skin.
I was amazed at how well it worked on my baby's diaper rash when nothing else helped. First, I'd slather the skin with aloe gel, then put the remaining pulp into his diaper and wrap it all up. Usually the rash was cleared up in a few hours. Fresh is best, studies suggest aloe starts to loose its properties within an hour of picking.
