i've heard about a person who has skin like that of a snake (i.e. scales). I have not seen picture of that person or read of him/her in detail. Do you know if such person exists? I heard that the person can strip their skin layer every few months or so (like a snake) and the skin layer just rebuilds itself with out any pain.
Human who has skin like snake?
Yes it is a real condition it is called ichthyosis which means "fish scales" the doctor thought my son had it when he was young but it was a severe case of exzema.
Reply:Yep it is a real condition called ichthyosis.
If you want to see some photographic eveidence check our Bizarre magazine or their website www.bizarremag.com as they had some photos of a guy who suffers from the disease and lives in China in their last issue.
Beware though, Bizarre is not for the faint hearted so if you are easily offended or grossed out don't look!
Reply:There is a family who live in India. They do have very bad skin problems. It look green layers. More like a snake skin. It was on TV some years ago.
Reply:Helpful Tips for Adults with Acne
Acne is not a malady-affecting teenagers only. Some women never get over their acne problem. For others, acne may reappear at or after menopause. Usually, the two main factors involved are stress and hormones. Although the acne lesions may not be severe, it is distressing for a woman to discover a cystic pimply lump on her chin, which is a common area, involved. The area of the neck just below the jawbone is another commonly affected location. A common form of acne found in mature women and men, is acne rosacea, which annoyingly manifests itself as a rosy complexion together with acne breakouts.
The best approach to tackling the problem of adult acne is to first, consult your dermatologist. The doctor can prescribe an oral antibiotic, which will often help control the problem. You might also be given topical metronidazole which helps control acne rosacea. Resistant cases of adult acne may require a course of low dose Accutane, a powerful acne medication given only to treat severe and resistant acne.
Secondly, you can help your skin by 1) Avoiding harsh products such as those containing a high percentage of alcohol and drying ingredients. Use only very mild soap. 2) By removing your makeup thoroughly each night using a gentle cleansing lotion. 3) By using only products that are tested to be non-comedogenic (will not clog pores). 4) For those with acne rosacea, by avoiding triggers such as certain foods, alcohol, heat, cold or sun exposure. For more rosacea info, please refer to article "Red Face of Rosacea" on this website...

Food additives: How much does the benzoate added in wonton or dumpling skin affect human health?
I have been making Chinese potstickers that people were going crazy for, but I noticed that in the ingredients, Benzoate is added to keep the freshness of the product. How much do they usually put in one package of dumpling skin(approx.42pieces)??
Food additives: How much does the benzoate added in wonton or dumpling skin affect human health?
I think benzoate (sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate) acidifies the dough a little to prevent bacteria and fungus growth.
You're worried about it in wonton skins, yet benzoate is quite common and you probably ingest more through soda than eating wontons.
From this website, most foods use at most 0.1% (by weight, not volume). So for every 1 ounce (28.35 grams) of wonton skin, there is at most 0.001 ounces (0.028 grams) of sodium benzoate.
http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/200...
Preservatives http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/foodic.htm...
Prevent food spoilage from bacteria, molds, fungi, or yeast (antimicrobials); slow or prevent changes in color, flavor, or texture and delay rancidity (antioxidants); maintain freshness
Products
Fruit sauces and jellies, beverages, baked goods, cured meats, oils and margarines, cereals, dressings, snack foods, fruits and vegetables
Name of Chemicals
Ascorbic acid, citric acid, sodium benzoate, calcium propionate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite, calcium sorbate, potassium sorbate, BHA, BHT, EDTA, tocopherols (Vitamin E)
Reply:more than likely not an amount you can detect it is just another salt for the food psychotics to attack..
sodium benzoate
NOUN:
The sodium salt of benzoic acid, NaC7H5O2, used as a food preservative, an antiseptic, and an intermediate in dye manufacture and in the production of pharmaceuticals. Also called benzoate of soda .
Remember listing some compound with NO amount = less than 1% of total volume...☺
Reply:Relatively large amounts of benzoic acid are found in cranberries and lingonberries. It's quite harmless. In fact, it's the benzoic acid that kills bacteria in the urinary tract (although sodium benzoate won't have that beneficial effect). That's why cranberries are recommended for urinary infections.

Skin infection from cat to human?
hi i think i have developed a skin infection due to my stray cat. my question is does this also affect the human eye? what is the way to get rid of it. for both, the cat and me? anyone have experience with this?
Skin infection from cat to human?
There are so many things this could be. My husband got ringworm(a skin fungus) from the neighborhood stray cats. And I have a cat I've recently brought home from the humane society that has chlymidia in her eye, and the vet has informed me this could be transferred to the human eye. You need to schedule the cat to the vet, and yourself to the doc for treatment.
Reply:see a doctor
Reply:What kind of infection do you have. Need more info to answer your question. If you have Scabies then both you and your cat need to go and see your doctors from treatment.
Reply:my brothers eye got swelled when he was playing with a stray cat he had to go to the doctor you should see a doctor and take the cat to the vet
Reply:ask a physician and then get some seriouse help. oh and loose tha cat
Reply:Yes, when I was 12 my cat scratched my hand and it got bably infected. Cats claws are so dirty that when they scratch you, you very likely to get infected. Go to the DR. and make sure its ok and he might put you on a anti-biotic for a while to help the wound stay clean. Good Luck, hope this helps a little.
Reply:I once caught a Staph infection from my dog. A Staph infection can be pretty serious and can cause pink eye (among other things) in people. An antibiotic for your pet and you is required. If your eyes are red and itchy, you could also be allergic to the cat.
Reply:Animal scabies (Sarcoptic mange) not infrequently attacks human beings, especially the owners of affected lap dogs or cats, and grooms attending mangy horses. There is no incubation period, the disease occurring immediately the parasite is transferred to the human skin. The burrows characteristic of human scabies are not found, the eruption being a small red popular rash which affects the arms or other parts which have been in contact with the infected animal. Sometimes the eruption is very profuse and widespread. The best place to find the acarus (a genus of arthropods, including mites) is the point of elbow. When the source of infection is detected and cut off the disease tend to die out of itself, but treatment with benzyl benzoate or gamma benzene hexachloride should always be instituted.
It most commonly appears first on the face, around the eyes, or at the corners of the mouth, and on the forelimbs.
Reply:We just adopted a kitten at the shelter. His brothers and sisters were infected with what is called "ring worm". Actually, it is not a worm but a fungal infection. You can pass that type of infection between animal and human and vice versa. You will want to check on if you have it. Incidentally, a cat that has ring worm, its hair will fall out first in the area that is infected.
Reply:Cats scratch fever is an infection that humans can catch from cats. Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a bacterial disease caused by Bartonella henselae. Most people with CSD have been bitten or scratched by a cat and developed a mild infection at the point of injury. Lymph nodes, especially those around the head, neck, and upper limbs, become swollen. Additionally, a person with CSD may experience fever, headache, fatigue, and a poor appetite. Rare complications of B. henselae infection are bacillary angiomatosis and Parinaud's oculolandular syndrome.
Some people get an eye infection known as Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome, with symptoms including: a small sore on the conjunctiva (the membrane lining the eye or inner eyelid), redness of the eye, and swollen lymph nodes in front of the ear.
Home Treatment
A child who has cat scratch disease does not need to be isolated from other family members. Bed rest is not necessary, but it may help if your child tires easily. If your child feels like playing, encourage quiet play while being careful to avoid injuring swollen lymph nodes. To ease the soreness of these nodes, try warm, moist compresses or give your child nonprescription medicines like acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) or ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin).
There are types of ringworm fungi that do infect pets and wild animals and can be given to humans.
You can even get ringworm by having contact with objects that have had contact with an infected person or pet, such as a brush, towel, or hat. Whenever you have an infection in your body it can affect your eyes because your eyes are like glands and are sensitive to infecion.
An over the counter antifungal cream or ointment is the usual treatment for ringworm, except for tinea capitis, which is much more difficult to treat and often requires several months of an oral medication (like Griseofulvin).
Prescription topical creams, suspensions and lotions are also available, like Loprox, Spectazole and Oxistat are also available
Reply:I caught a skin fungus from my cat some years ago. It was easily cured, but I had to deep clean my entire house with special products and of course cure the cat. I do not know what your infection is, but I suggest you go immediately to the doctor and then take your cat to the vet. Hope all goes well.
Reply:There is not much you can catch from a cat....MOST diseases, ailments, etc. are SPECIES SPECIFIC. However you can catch ringworm from a cat. It is not actually a worm, but a fungal infection. It affects the hair follicles so you would get it on arms, legs, armpits, sometimes the face. I have not heard of it affecting eyes but I guess it would be possible if it affected your eyelashes. Check your cat for patches of missing hair and scaly skin....these are symptons of ringworm. You could have something totally unrelated to your cat, or you could be suffering from some sort of allergy. Take kitty to the vet to outrule ringworm...then you could check with your own doctor for a diagnosis.
Reply:It the rash round in shape? It could be ringworm. You need to take the cat to the vet so he/she can be treated and then see your doctor to confirm your rash. It is easily treatable.
Reply:IT IS AN ALLERGY. You have never had an allergic reaction before????

Differences between rayon, nylon and polyester ? Are their impact/ influence on human body / skin different ?
nylon = slippery/smooth, has a stiffness. Keeps in body heat for warmth - - body don't 'breathe' thru it. Good for jackets.
polyester = smooth, delicate, limp, snags easily. Keeps in body heat - - body don't 'breathe' thru it. Pretty for blouse.
Rayon = similar to cotton but has sizing added for body. When washed in water, sizing (sizing is like a soft starching) will be gone and it isn't truly rayon unless you readd sizing again. Body can 'breathe' thru it. Makes nice dress suits and dresses.
None of fabrics are known for common allergies or a skin irritant.

What's the best way to learn all of the Human bones & Skin composition for an Anatomy class?
Make up a song or a rhyme; flash cards, cut up a picture of a skeleton into individual bones (write name on back) and put it together (over and over) into a complete skeleton as you name the bone and it's specific areas (if you need to know them such as greater trochanter etc). Don't try %26amp; learn them all at once. Break it up by region so as to not overload.
What's the best way to learn all of the Human bones %26amp; Skin composition for an Anatomy class?
clear your concept. every bone has its own reason of putting its name.you should learn it day by day 1 bone a day thats how i learn the scientefic names of vegetables and fruits.
Reply:Amazingly, coloring diagrams and associating color with the names is quite helpful. I teach Anatomy and my students do better when they color the detailed diagrams. You can find coloring books for this. People in college use these a lot.
Reply:From my student days a good basic coloured book on A%26amp;P was my bible and small enough to carry around.
Strange when you get good colours you so remember skeletal and dermy;
Do well.

In the Simpsons, why are all the human's skin yellow?
They ran out of caucasian ink at the animators in Korea and it was too expensive to buy more at the time, but they had more yellow than they'd ever use. So they just used yellow, and they had to keep it once they started it.
