Rash in short: is an acute and widespread temporary reddish eruption on the skin. A rash can develop in individuals that are sensitive to a particular drug, prescription or nonprescription. The rashes are characterized by itching of an intensity that can interfere with sleep or normal activities. The rash results from the entire body reacting to the drug itself and usually develops early in treatment rather than after the drug has been taken for a period of time.
WHAT’S NEW:
Hand SanitizerMake alcohol-based hand sanitizers, liquid hand soap, and wipes!Since January, health authorities have identified more than 550,000 Covid-19 cases throughout the United States. So far, 21,000 — about 3.8% — of those patients have died. New York has become the epicenter of the country’s outbreak with 66,497 confirmed cases and 1,218 deaths so far. When adjusted for population, that translates to roughly 342 known cases for every 100,000 residents. But experts say those numbers don’t give the whole picture because many cases — including mild or asymptomatic infections — have not been diagnosed. States have also approached testing differently. In New York, where officials have been testing aggressively, the number of known cases is now doubling about every two days. Meanwhile, in California, the number of known cases is doubling about every three days.

Typhus is one of several similar diseases that is caused by the Rickettsiae bacteria. Of greek origin, meaning hazy or smokey, it describes the state of mind of those affected by the typhus disease. A fever which can reach up to 39?C (102?F) and a headache, are symptoms which are common to all types of typhus. In some tropical countries, typhus is most often mistaken for another disease known as “dengue”.
Allergies, particularly what is known as “hayfever” affect thousands of people worldwide. Here’s a description of my suffering from dust and sawdust allergies.
Crohn’s disease is characterized by chronic inflammation of the colon. Most patients also experience abdominal pain and weight loss. The treatment for Crohn?s disease is similar to that of ulcerative colitis in the sense that it can be treated with sulfasalazine, mesalamine preparations, glucocorticoids and 6 mercaptopurine.
