Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 That's why I do these things every so often.The pattern almost remains the same, the scrubbing during shower scenes(something resembling psycho) is focused on the left elbow for just such theorising- is it on the surface.I feel comfortable that staph areus which is the leading cause of infectious arthritis is a big player in all forms of arthritis possably due to cyst formation.I do know that my staph epi is capable of displacing my staph areus in my sinus cavity and that my staph areus used to be highly sensitive to most antibiotics including I think amoxacillin last time I bothered testing.The thing that will alway's sway away from infectious arthritis in us I believe is all about the immune response in burnt out tissue. We virtually don't give off all the bells and whistles similar in nature to the article you posted about burnt patients exhibiting the bells and whistles of auto immune changes in there bloodwork. My next joint is the left knee which may also give us another overview. just remeber that bone infection and arthritis is dominated in all the literature by staph -Areus in particluar so the fact that it's there doesn't surprise me I just know the staph epidermis is possably a bigger player (that doesn't even get a mention in literature) due to it's high resistance and ability to push over it's bigger badder brother in the microbial world. > > > > Just added another pic to the photo's section.This is my left elbow > > bacteria.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 In my micro lab we did a thing where we plated peoples fingerprints, plated em again after they washed their hands with soap, and again after they washed with antibacterial soap (containing triclosan or something, I dono). The washing didnt make that much difference, and this was the expected result according to the teacher. I really dont think you can get em all. Swabbing alcohol on your skin might be better, but I dono if its 100% effective. Certainly alcohol is enough to greatly cut the risk of infection when you have blood taken or get an IV. But in the 2 labs I've been in you would never sterilize a glass spreading rod or anything by dipping in alcohol, rather youd dip in alcohol and then light the alchohol residue on fire, something you cant do with your skin. > > That's why I do these things every so often.The pattern almost > remains the same, the scrubbing during shower scenes(something > resembling psycho) is focused on the left elbow for just such > theorising- is it on the surface.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 That is the truth about bacteria- that experiment with washing. Everything claimed to be antibacterial fails more often than not whenever I try it.I think that mouth wash is a classic example of no bacterial death whatsoever.Even the skin antiseptic alcohol swabs ain't bringing the house down with excitment for me either.I really think this whole 'ANTIBACTERIAL AGENT', NEEDS REVISITING. I prefer colloidal silver (high ppm) than all the crap served up as antibacterial. Oh the betadine iodine is spot on as well.I actually had to start using strong bleach to see antibacterial action.The thing that really kills bacteria is red hot flame. The loop for spreading bacteria amongst culture plates alway's gets flamed red hot before it's next use, and even the heat remaining isn't enough to kill the bacteria your spreading on your next pass. > > > In my micro lab we did a thing where we plated peoples fingerprints, > plated em again after they washed their hands with soap, and again > after they washed with antibacterial soap (containing triclosan or > something, I dono).
