• If you always use the same shampoo, eventually it will stop working. I admit I’ve never heard this one about shampoo.
• For healthy hair, brush 100 strokes a day. Yep I remember always seeing this myth in old movies as I child and striving to do it!
• A cold-water rinse makes your hair shinier. Wow, this is a myth? Dang I used to hate it when I was a little girl and mom would freeze my head off with that last cold rinse!
• Frequent trims make your hair grow faster. This is another I didn’t know was a myth. I mean it made sense to me…

MRSA is no joke, and one scary thing is you don’t know where it is and it is so easy to get! Another is how fast it takes hold and how hard it is to heal. The doctors say he will always be MRSA positive and more susceptible to getting/having it now. So lets take a look at some MRSA facts from around the web…

• Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body. It’s tougher to treat than most strains of staphylococcus aureus — or staph — because it’s resistant to some commonly used antibiotics.
• The symptoms of MRSA depend on where you’re infected. Most often, it causes mild infections on the skin, causing sores or boils. But it can also cause more serious skin infections or infect surgical wounds, the bloodstream, the lungs, or the urinary tract.
• Over the decades, some strains of staph — like MRSA — have become resistant to antibiotics that once destroyed it. MRSA was first discovered in 1961. It’s now resistant to methicillin, amoxicillin, penicillin, oxacillin, and many other antibiotics.
• MRSA is spread by contact. So you could get MRSA by touching another person who has it on the skin. Or you could get it by touching objects that have the bacteria on them. MRSA is carried, or “colonized,” by about 1% of the population, although most of them aren’t infected. At-risk populations for community based MRSA include groups such as high school wrestlers & athletes, child care workers, and people who live in crowded conditions.
• MRSA may progress substantially within 24–48 hours of initial topical symptoms. After 72 hours, MRSA can take hold in human tissues and eventually become resistant to treatment. The initial presentation of MRSA is small red bumps that resemble pimples, spider bites, or boils; they may be accompanied by fever and, occasionally, rashes. Within a few days, the bumps become larger and more painful; they eventually open into deep, pus-filled boils
• Help prevent MRSA by Wash your hands, Keep wounds covered, Keep personal items personal, Shower after athletic games or practices, Do not share towels, wash clothes or loofahs, Sanitize linens, clean with clorox wipes, spray things with lysol, Carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer containing at least 60 percent alcohol for times when you don’t have access to soap and water, Avoid sharing personal items such as towels, sheets, razors, clothing and athletic equipment. MRSA spreads on contaminated objects as well as through direct contact.
• MRSA is not resistant to every antibiotic and most strains of MRSA can still be treated with vancomycin, teicoplanin and mupirocin.
• Don’t wait to see a doctor, if you have a suspicious injury or boil, or any signs of wound infection! If a person is suspected of being infected with MRSA, a swab of the infected wound or a sample of blood or urine is taken. Any bacteria in the sample are grown in a laboratory and then identified. The results can take several days as it takes this long for the bacteria to grow.
• MRSA can also cause Folliculitis (more common in men/beards) which is an infection of the hair follicles.

I haven’t included any images of MRSA but there are tons of them on the web…

From Wiki: “The winter solstice occurs exactly when the axial tilt of a planet’s polar hemisphere is farthest away from the star that it orbits. Earth’s maximum axial tilt to our star, the Sun, during a solstice is 23° 26′. More evidently from high latitudes, a hemisphere’s winter solstice occurs on the shortest day and longest night of the year, when the sun’s daily maximum elevation in the sky is the lowest. Since the winter solstice lasts only a moment in time, other terms are often used for the day on which it occurs, such as midwinter, the longest night or the first day of winter.The seasonal significance of the winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of days. Depending on the shift of the calendar, the winter solstice usually occurs on December 21 to 23 each year in the Northern Hemisphere, and June 20 to 23 in the Southern Hemisphere.Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time.”
