#Bacterial Conjunctivitis

[heard-in-the-emergency-room]

Provider talking to patient, who was just diagnosed with bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye)

Patient: how dark do the sunglasses need to be?

Provider: for what?

Patient: so I don’t give this to anyone else

Provider: (deep breath). How do you think pink eye is spread?

Patient: well I got it by looking at a girl with pink eye.

Provider: (deeper breath). No.

(And went on to explain how it is really spread)

Conjunctivitis, commonly known as “pink eye,” is an uncomfortable and contagious eye condition that affects people of all ages. Characterized by redness, itching, discharge, and discomfort in the eyes, conjunctivitis can result from various factors such as viruses, bacteria, allergies, and irritants. Given its contagious nature, prioritizing prevention and safety measures becomes essential. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of conjunctivitis, exploring its causes, symptoms, and most importantly, effective strategies for preventing its spread and ensuring safety.

I’ve never participated in Slick Sunday before (so I really hope I’m doing this right) but last Sunday I saw a post about the differences in the way omegaverse is written between fandoms and I wanted to talk about the diverse ways scent glands are written and how I headcanon they work, so I’m using this as my outlet. This may end up a bit of a long one so strap in. 

Scent glands are usually described as a spot on an alpha or omega that throws pretty smells into the air and the actual way a scent smells is often written as being affected by emotions but; I have seen several different placements and amounts of scent glands over the years and it differs between fandoms. 

In general, most people seem to agree that there is at least one on the neck and one on each wrist. There seems to be some contention for neck scent glands/mating glands, with some placing a single gland at the base of the neck and others placing two on either side of the neck. From what I have observed, this placement seems to hinge on the intended use of the gland. The single-gland variant appears to be used more often as the mating gland and that's its singular purpose. The two-gland variant shows up more in conjunction with pack scenting and serves as both a mating and scenting gland.

Personally, I prefer two glands on either side of the neck because of pack scenting but also because it's probably easier to nom on the side of someone's neck rather than the back (especially when going at it). I also like the idea of there being a culture based on which side gets sanctimoniously chewed on. Statistically, because humans tend to lead with the side of their dominant hand it probably would be the same for mating bites, but it’s also likely that the side that is bitten could be influenced by trends like when chokers rose to popularity because Alexandra of Denmark liked to wear them. 

Wrist scent glands seem to have risen in popularity lately as well. There is some scientific merit behind wrist glands. As some of us know omegaverse gets its start in a badly executed scientific study of wolves and wolves have scent glands in between their paw pads that they scrape on the ground to mark territory. The human equivalent would technically be on the palm but as we use our hands more than wolves do it is feasible that this gland would migrate upwards over time to be out of the way (and to prevent marking everything you touch as your personal property). 

Here's where things get interesting. Any other scent glands are seemingly not agreed upon by the wider fandom but there are a few that tend to crop up on a small scale. The next most common set of glands I have observed are located somewhere on the upper inner leg but there doesn't seem to be an exact location on the thigh. Most mammals with inner leg glands have what are called Tarsal glands but those are where a human's knee would be so the next most likely placement would be a pulse point close to where the thigh conjoins with the hip but not directly in the conjunction. Therefore I see thigh glands probably rest along the femoral artery roughly on the upper section of the Abductor longus muscle. I chose this placement because fic writers tend to bring up these glands in scenes where oral sex is taking place so I have inferred proximity to genitalia. 

Speaking of genitalia in rare instances I have also seen the glands inside or on the bits™. When they are discussed from a narrative standpoint in fanfic the purpose of the gland is to scent/flavor whatever bodily fluid is being excreted. Now, glands on the genitals do exist, they are called Preputial glands, However, they are theorized to serve anti-bacterial and self-lubricating functions, not scent. On the other hand, given the nature of omegaverse and how smell works in said universe, I’m willing to stretch my imagination to add on this function. 

Finally, we reach my personal head cannons for scent glands that have no preexisting narrative basis. I personally headcannon an additional two sets of glands located in the armpit and on the ankle.

The first set (armpit) would be larger on alphas and exist to me purely because it's a naturally smelly area in the real world. I headcanon the set on the ankles because they would rest on a pulse point specifically the Posterior tibial artery. The other glands I have discussed also seem to be near arteries (e.x. the carotid arteries in the neck) and there is a theoretical real-world correlation for that.  I don’t know if there is scientific proof but I know a handful of people with extensive perfume collections and they say to apply perfume to the neck and wrists so when your heart beats it “throws the scent” (again I don’t actually know if this has been scientifically proven or not but I’ve heard weirder).

That's it for now ‘because this is like, two pages long but I could talk about the theoretical science behind omegaverse for hours if someone lets me.

i love it! i definitely tend to place them where lymph glands are because it feels right with the anatomy background i have, but the more the merrier because they add such an interesting element to the world!

pikn eye

Conjunctivitis occurs when the conjunctiva becomes inflamed due to an infection or an irritant. As a result of this inflammation, the blood vessels in the conjunctiva dilate, causing redness or hyperemia, and the conjunctiva can also become swollen.

The inflammation affects the entire conjunctiva, and depending on the cause, discharge may also be present. Bacterial conjunctivitis occurs when the eye's surface tissues are colonized by normal flora like Staphylococci sp., Streptococci, and Corynebacteria. The epithelial covering of the conjunctiva is the primary defense mechanism against infection, and any disruption in this barrier can lead to infection.[39] Secondary defense mechanisms include immune reactions carried out by the tear film immunoglobulins and lysozyme, conjunctival vasculature, and the rinsing action of blinking and lacrimation.

[asgeyecareindia]

Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent layer of tissue that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the white area of the eye. It may be brought on by a number of things, such as bacterial or viral infections, allergies, irritants, or even underlying medical concerns.

One day I will understand that a virus or bacterial infection will, in fact, go away again, but clearly that day is far into the future

YES I SURVIVED PNEUMOCOCCAL INFECTION AND MADE A CELLS AT WORK COMIC ABOUT IT BECAUSE I CAN!

The original Cells at work and all its characters belong to Akane Shimizu!!!

I am too dumb to draw mangas, so read left to right:

To explain some shit:

1. I had azithromycin because I’m kinda allergic to penicillin and I researched how it works. Basically, lots of the antibiotic collects inside the granules of phagocytes (aka. macrophages and neutrophils) and then they de-granulate upon encountering bacteria and fuck them up. Degranulation in Cells at Work is represented with their weapons, hence they got cool new weapon!

2. Azithromycin is a bacteriostatic which means that it causes them to stop reproducing and blocks their protein production. “Molecular machinery” refers to bacterial ribosomes, DNA and other components necessary for protein production.

3. The pills I got were light blue, so I made the antibiotic into blue lightsabers because I can and it’s cool.

4. I had to ship 1146 and 3803. I just had, sorry not sorry.

5. My artstyle is shit for Cells at work, but I don’t care one bit. I’m going to disappear from Tumblr for a little while to work on my actual webcomic that looks decent in this shit artstyle.

6. Yes I was sick for two weeks, it was most likely acute Streptococcus pneumoniae sinus infection. And I also got conjunctivitis, because of course I did. I’m fine now and this comic served as a very good catharsis.

Carlos is so confusing to me in an endearing way like. In pictures it looks like he has conjunctivitis, which means his eye probably got infected earlier, but he thinks it happened from the moment a bug flew into his eyeball???

I’m actually really glad you sent in this ask! Conjunctivitis can be viral, bacterial, allergic, or irritative. In Carlos’s case here, it was irritative, because a bug got in his eye and irritated the conjunctiva. Infection has nothing to do with it.

The -itis suffix in medicine just means inflammation, and inflammation does not automatically equal infection. Tendinitis for example is often caused by overuse or repetitive strain.

This is why doctors ask detailed histories! Patients can present similarly but the treatment can differ depending on cause.

Fire Cider Recipe 1:

Fire Cider Ingredients

2 cups apple cider vinegar

1/2 to 1 cup honey

1/2 cup horseradish

8 cloves of garlic, chopped

1/2 onion

1/2 cup ginger

1 sliced jalapeño

1/2 cup fresh turmeric OR 1 tbsp dried turmeric (optional)

1/2 lemon (optional)

1/2 orange (optional)

1 tsp peppercorns (optional)

2 whole cinnamon sticks (optional)

2 rosemary sprigs (optional)

4 thyme sprigs (optional)

Directions

Prepare ingredients and place them in a sterilized quart-sized glass jar.

Pour the apple cider vinegar and honey in the jar until all of the ingredients are covered and the vinegar reaches 1/2 inch from the jar’s top. You can use a glass fermentation weight on top to keep the ingredients submerged, but that is just a preference. Shake well. Store in a dark, cool place for a month, shaking daily. It’s in vinegar, so it won’t go bad! Once done, strain, bottle, and label.

Storage: It’s vinegar, so it keeps all winter and early spring (6 months) if left in a cool dark place. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 10 months. You can take a dropperful every few hours, or I put 2 -3 droppers full into a big mug of hot water and drink that.

Benefits of ingredients

Ginger root – Ginger contains gingerol, an antibacterial compound that promotes body warmth, helping to fight off cold symptoms.

Horseradish root – Horseradish strongly stimulates the digestion, increasing gastric secretions and appetite. It can be of use in both respiratory and urinary tract infections. Horseradish is a natural expectorant with natural antibacterial properties. It helps in easing throat and upper respiratory tract infections. Has been used to fight cancer naturally.

Jalapeño peppers – Useful for increasing circulation and to get mucus flowing. Anti-inflammatory, pain reliever, and anti-irritant. It is used as a digestive aid to stimulates gastric juices.

Garlic – Boosts the immune function and opens pores of the skin to lower a fever. This herb’s antibacterial and antimicrobial properties make it useful in treating bladder and kidney infections, yeast infections, strep throats and ear infections.

Onion – Another cancer fighter, onion’s compound quercetin is a natural disease fighter.

Lemon – The levels of vitamin C found in the juice and peel are extremely effective against bacterial infections! Lemons act as a great potentiator in this cider recipe.

Rosemary Sprigs – This piney plant alleviates muscle pain, boosts the immune system, and relieves cough while you’re sick.

Turmeric – Turmeric increases the antioxidant capacity in your body. This means that all of the new antioxidants in this cider will have a home to live and work in!

Black peppercorns – Greatly boosts absorption of turmeric.

Apple Cider Vinegar – (Use organic) ACV kills multiple types of bacteria. When used in conjunction with the other herbs of this recipe, it becomes a powerhouse of health.

Local Raw Honey – Before becoming sick, local, raw honey helps your body fight off local infections and allergens. After becoming ill, it suppresses coughs and continues fighting off bacteria
