It was described. I don't remember the whole thing, but I do remember them describing that during the original construction the steel is hammered out repeatedly.

Yikes! That's a horrible violation of your privacy regardless of what the medication was for.

Well, genital warts are actually HPV, not a herpes virus. And the protection against HSV-2 from a previous HSV-1 infection relies entirely on the robustness of your immune system's response to HSV-1.

Herpes "simplex" (or HSV) only refers to 1 & 2. All viruses in the herpes family are referred to "human herpes virus-#" or "HHV-#".

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.
