Take Care When Entering a Hospital

It was just a few short months ago that I brought a good friend of mine, who had cancer, a pumpkin while she was in the hospital for treatment. At only 16 she still wanted to carve a pumpkin for Halloween and I thought it would be a great idea to bring a pumpkin and a carving knife and spoon and have a little fun! To make a long story short, I was stopped by security and told to leave the hospital immediately, but why? I didn't understand...so I came home and did some research and here is what I found out:

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells within the body. These abnormal cells need to be stopped in their tracks, calling for chemotherapy, radiation or other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, most of the traditional cancer treatments are unable to distinguish the difference between good cells and bad, so they just kill all of them off. Basically doing away with whatever immune system the person may have had.

So, you ask, what does this have to do with something as insignificant as a pumpkin? Fresh flowers, vegetables, fruits and even your clothes all carry mold spores, as well as other immune system nuisances. These mold spores and a compromised immune system equals a deadly combination for a cancer patient. Mold spores can cause severe problems all on their own for people who have a healthy immune system and no allergies; I can only imagine what it would do to a person with an inefficient or an absent immune system.

As many people know, mold spores travel and multiply at incredible rates. We also know that mold can kill a normal person with a normal immune system. A cancer patient who is undergoing any form a therapy has a very clear chance of not dying from the cancer itself by what he or she surrounds them by. Bringing her flowers or even a pumpkin can literally kill her.

There is much to be learned on the subject of mold, and I have always considered myself an expert in the matter. Even with all of the lab reports that I have read over after conducting a mold inspection, I see that I still have a lot to learn about the subject. I never would have thought that bringing a pumpkin into a hospital filled with cancer patients would cause such uproar!

Hair forms from the skin of an individual and is an important characteristic of human appearance. There are thousands of individual hairs all over the body of a human being. Different sexes grow hair differently based on natural differences as well as cultural norms.

In general, men tend to have more body hair than women. In most cultures, women tend to grow their hair longer than men. During puberty, hormones promote the growth of hair in males and this hair is distributed around the face, the chest and the limbs.

Both sexes will grow hair in their genital region as well.
 The appearance of the hair is a function of many different factors. When one talks about hair condition, it is usually in relation to hair on the head. An individual's hair style and hair condition is a function of the overall health of the individual. Hair is made up of protein fiber that forms from hair follicles which are located in the skin. The base of the hair follicle is nourished by blood which contains the various nutrients that are used for hair growth. The skin also has sebaceous glands which provide lubrication to the hair. Often, it is this substance that contributes to shiny hair. Another factor important for shiny hair is the actual physical condition of the hair strands. Hair that is split, cracked or broken will not appear as shiny as hair that is strong and solid. This once again brings the point back to the condition of the skin on which the hair is growing and the overall health of the individual.
