dont underestimate the microbes!

you thought that the discovery of antibiotics won the war on the little critters, didnt you? right now i have the trifecta. that top X on my left foot, that's the pressure wound and it might or might not have shaken the bacterial infection i have battled on and off for months.


pictures only actual size when i'm holidaying on lilliput

that top X on the right foot? that's tinea. that's a fungus

the bottom X on the right foot? that's a plantar wart and that is viral.


yep, i'm a great host !

  4. "X" marks the spot they say.
    'x' = the algebraic unknown.

  7. Phew, I'm glad you turned them into friendly diagrams and didn't give us the full technicolor horror of your afflictions! I hope you find some effective treatments to wipe them out. My own feet are fine now, though I did have a nasty army of verrucas when I was at school, which had to be beaten into submission by Matron (yes, it was one of them posh schools).

  9. Kia ora Kylie,
    Well, I was never much into foot fetishes, but any such thoughts are now well and truly gone. Hope all is well. Kia kaha.
    Aroha,

  14. You ARE a great host! Congratulations. You need never be lonely. I guess you've heard that we each harbor more organisms than we have cells, so that if I every cell were to suddenly disappear, it would appear that we were still present. The question is, would anyone notice that we weren't.
