Personal Narrative-Skin Infection

At a mere age of ten, seeing trees and mountains pass by through the window of a speeding car. Sitting in the back of the van with the radio blaring and yelling of four other kids. A mix of emotions, happy, sad, excited. We were moving to North Carolina. That was six short years ago. It wasn’t until I turned 15 that I realized, my life is flying by. I had just been in the fifth grade in a very small school. I was excited to explore what else this big world had to offer. I had known I loved the mountains. I was very excited to meet new people and live in a different climate. Over all I loved the idea.

Impetigo is extremely contagious, and can easily spread to another person if the fluid from the blisters comes in contact with an open area on their skin (PubMed Health. 2010). In Timothy’s preschool it could be spread from some of the fluid getting on toys, furniture or even hands, and then coming into contact with another child. Children like Timothy are more at risk of developing impetigo, especially if their skin has already been injured y cuts or abrasions, irritated or by having skin problems like eczema (Department of Health – Victoria, 2007).

The Harvester Vase was found in Hagia Triada on the island of Crete. This vase is from the Late Bronze Age, dating from 1550 to 1500 BC.

The vase was originally glided with gold and hammered to paper-thin thickness. This piece is decorated with low-relief sculpture and shows a unique scene. The piece has pictorial designs. The composition is powerful, rhythmical, and lively.

Impetigo is a skin infection in the form of a cluster of blisters that usually occurs on the face, but can infect any area of the body. This skin infection can affect all age groups but is most common with toddlers who develop a rash and cannot or do not understand that they need to keep from rubbing or scratching the rash because it could irritate and make the rash bigger and cause other skin or health problems to occur, e.g. impetigo. It is considered as a common skin infection and the most common in America. Ways to prevent and break the chain of infection is to practice regular hand hygiene and sterilize materials and objects that had contact with the infected area.

It was a hot summer day, sometime around noon in my driveway. My brother Will was fourteen years old, he had his friend Jared over at our house who was thirteen years old, he was also our next door neighbor and the camera man. Then there was me

Impetigo is a highly contagious disease of the integumentary system. It can be caused by the bacteria streptococcus pyogenes or staphylococcus aureus, or a combination of both. Patients who have impetigo will often develop weeping sores that burst and ooze fluid. A honey colored crust will develops as well, after the blisters break open, which is caused by dried serum. This disease normally will develop around the mouth and nose, but can occur anywhere on the body. Impetigo is most commonly seen in children, but can occur in adults as well. Some children can have recurrent episodes of impetigo, and the disease usually peaks in the warm summer months. Impetigo thrives on the areas of the body that are the moist, such as the nostrils.

It was a spring afternoon. It was my birthday and i was turning 11 and my mom exclaimed she wanted to take me somewhere. So we hopped in the car and we left. Then we were driving and about 10 minutes later we were on Tuttle Crossing Blvd. We turned left and i saw BJ’s Brewhouse. Then we pulled into Bj’s Brewhouse, we hopped out of the car, and on the way inside, i saw some delicious looking food. I could smell the food so much it felt like i was in a new world, I could have exploded because it was making me hungry.

It was the beginning of my seventh grade year. I was about twelve years old and, I guess you could say a nerd. I did well in school so I was placed in the Gifted and Talented program with other nerds in my class. As part of this program we were required to read at a certain level or read a certain number of books each semester. You

Throughout my six years as an elementary school student, I was a helpless victim, drowning in a sea of stressful book reports and searching for a way to express myself in open-ended questions. As I entered middle school, however, a life preserver was thrown to me. From the moment it appeared, I held on tightly until my rescuer taught me to swim on my own.

I'm a big (really small) bad bacteria that was passed to Amber during her very first time with her fiance Spencer. Can’t you believe it? I was given to her during her first time! See it can happen people. Spencer gave me to her while they had unprotected sex and she thought he was completely clear of STI’s, like me. Only if she asked him to get an STI Test, that I would not have been spread, but lucky me I get to know the ins and outs of my host. When I was first introduced to her, she obviously did not see me or feel we building my new home. I built my home around her genitals and inside her reproductive system. For a couple weeks I made myself at home in her body getting used to my surroundings and during the time Amber continued her ‘unchanged’ life. When I realized I had been slacking off and not

Impetigo, also known as school sores, is one of the most common contagious skin infections. It affects 140 million people a year worldwide. Anyone can get impetigo, but it is most common in children 2 to 6 years of age. It is caused by strep or staph bacteria. People are more likely to get impetigo if they already have skin irritations such as cuts, eczema, bug bites and other rashes. It can spread to any part of the body but originates blisters and sores around the face, neck, hands and forearms. The sores first appear red and burst to develop yellowish brown crusts. The elderly, diabetics and people with a compromised immune system are more likely to get ecthyma. Ecthyma is a more serious form of impetigo. People that participate in contact

My urine was still cloudy this morning. Feeling weak and doing a lot of puffing.

Impetigo is due to a germ known as “Staphylococcus aureus” in hot climates it may be due to “Streptococcus pyogenes” or a mixture of the two. These germs pass from person to person, and can spread rapidly through families and school classes through skin-to-skin contact or, less often, by bedding, clothing and towels. However impetigo can even arrive out of the blue, with no clue of where it came from.

I was on the 5th grade, and I was only 11 years old. My mother used to wake me up very early, like 5 A.M. because the elementary school was very far from my home, and it was the way my mother’s work. So she had to drive me to the elementary school every single day. I always was excited to go to the school that when she had woken me up, I took a shower very quickly and I packed my back bag by myself. One day, when we arrived at school, the rules of the elementary school had changed. The new rule was that we had to sing the anthem of the country before the first class. Therefore, they give us a paper where the lyrics of the anthem was, and we, students, had to know that in one-week.
