That depends. Many antibodies against HSV-1 are pretty effective against HSV-2, though not always perfect.

Nope, just that you make antibodies to the initial virus, so you're protected from a secondary infection (also how vaccines work!).

Cold sore/genital herpes are Herpes Simplex Virus-1 or Herpes Simplex Virus-2 (AKA HHV-1 and HHV-2). Pinkeye is most commonly bacterial (as others have said). Mono is caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a herpes virus (HHV-4), but is no more herpes simplex than chicken pox/shingles, which is caused by another…

Sounds like my sister! I tell her that I'm engaged, and her response is "that's fucked up" because I'm younger, but graduated with my bachelor's before her, will probably have my doctorate before, and now am getting married before her. So, now she's making her boyfriend save money to buy her an engagement ring.

Um, no. It's still in Los Angeles County, and is still part of the LA metro area. IE refers to San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

However, if you stop harvesting the honey, the bees will not pollinate less plants because they no longer need the pollen to make more honey.

I want to know, especially with that lead up.

I'm not too good at pathology (molecular biologist, here), but I'll go with 1=B (clearly not C); 2 = C; 3 = D, or another PRR (not listed); 4 = D? (I don't study B cell development, but IL-4 creates Th2 cells, IL-10 is generally immunosupressive, and IL-2 helps proliferate leukocytes); 5 = A; and 6 = B?

Completely not a lie. I have a scar on my face from chickenpox at the age of 4. I know it's from the chicken pox because all the pics from that time (my parents wanted to document it, for some reason) have a big scab in that spot because I kept scratching it.

Although I gave you a star for this, I must protest your color rank

I pay $4 in Orange County, CA. In NE (my home state), it's $3.50.

Over-consumption of vitamin C, such as through megadoses found in some supplements, can cause health problems for humans, too. The most important factor in whether something is healthy, harmful, or innocuous is the dose.

There has been studies in mice that show when a mother is allergic to a food, exposing the mother to the allergen during breastfeeding reduces allergic symptoms to the same food in the pups. This works by passing IgG1-allergen complexes to the pup through the breast milk. 1) This has only been shown in mice. 2) No…

I wouldn't want hydrogen dioxide (H2O2, AKA hydrogen peroxide) in my food either. I believe you were trying to make a dihydrogen oxide (H2O, AKA dihydrogen monoxide; AKA water) joke.

Exactly. But he goes on and on about how diamonds have such a perfect crystal structure (he's a chemist), and while he wants a diamond ring too, just really wouldn't listen to me on me not wanting diamonds, or jewelry in general. At least he got a style that I like which is very low-profile.

Ugh. My fiancée wouldn't listen to me when I told him that and bought me a ring anyway because "we aren't officially engaged without a ring". It's a complete waste of money.

Skim is 0% fat. Most grocery stores have whole (3%), 2%, 1%, and skim (0%).

My favorite toy as a child was a Tonka farm set that my cousin (dad's side) got me for Christmas. Some of my dad's family made a fuss that it was a "boy's" toy, but my mother's side was REALLY upset that they got me a "boy's" toy. I think I brought it to my maternal grandmother's house for 2 years after that to play…

I was also blessed with a slender frame (also from my dad), but that doesn't mean I don't have body issues. It messed me up pretty bad that people would say that I'm so skinny and will never have a problem with weight. Then, I hit my mid-20s and filled out a little, making me a size 7 instead of a 0 and underweight.…

They're voracious insect eaters. All the farmers I knew who raised them did so for pest control. They're really stupid though.
