If the toxoplasma IgA antibody test showed 3 iu/ml, with normal values being <5iu/ml, what does it mean? I mean it is within normal values, but does the presence of teh antibody indicate some infection? IgG and IgM were both negative. How much would the IgA be after an infection, like after 1 month?

I'm so embarrassed by the acne on my back. Is there a product that anyone can recommend that either I can apply myself or have someone else apply it that will clear it up rather quickly?

He has rotting on his head and hands. They thought it was poison oak because he does fish. however he was hospitalized and they called it an infectious disease. Possible from a sand fly/flea? What the heck is it?

I've noticed that whenever i am outside, I seem to be ravaged by mosquitos -- even when I wear bug repellent. if I happen to forget the bug repellent, any exposed skin becomes covered (literally -- COVERED) in bites.

however, i've noticed that many other people (who don't wear any bug repellent, and have plenty of exposed skin) get little to no bug bites at all. what makes a person appetizing to these itchy little vermin? is there a scent or hormone mosquitos somehow detect on certain people? why me?!

I'm a 16 year old girl, normal health wise and stuff but I've had bad black heads on my nose. It drives me nuts because I don't wear makeup or use pore-clogging lotions/moisturizers/sunblock and stuff and I wash my face everyday with a gentle facial cleanser (neutrogena) and use oil free neutrogena face moisturizer/SPF15.

I have tried almost everything to get rid of these stupid blackheads that make me very self-conscious to be close to people because I know they are visible (I notice them on people who have them too, and envy the ones who don't). I have tried pore strips, exfoliating face washes and scrubs, more chemically face wash (with sacrylic acids and stuff which just irritates my skin more), but nothing helps. I squeeze them sometimes and that helps some of them for a few days but not far and not that great.I am not an oily person and I eat a healthy diet, take a vitamin every day. What can I do?? Including dermatologist help??

I have been wanting to get this checked out for years but never went. I'm to the point where I want to know if its benign or malignant. Do I schedule an appointment with a radiologist or a just a family physician? I'm confused, I want to do this on my own with anyone knowing cause I never told anyone about what I have. Can someone please help me out. I want to get this checked out ASAP.

Would you go to the hospital, eat a snack, suck down a couple of tubes of Glucagon, or what?
What would you do if you accidentally took 55 units of Humalog? I am trying to figure out it the EMT is stupid or if I am making a big deal out of nothing.

My boyfriend accidentally took 55 units of Humalog instead of Lantus. When I arrived at his house, it was a regular fiasco between his ignorant mooching daughter and me. I called the ER of the hospital where I work and asked them whether we had enough time to make the 26 mi trip or if I should wait for an ambulance. The ER physician told me to wait for an ambulance and they would start an IV and administer a stat amp D-50. When the ambulance arrived, the EMT told him to eat a snack and that would take care of it.
What would you have done? I will fill you in on the rest later.
