Infectious Diseases - August 2007

I threw up about 2 hours ago. There was a worm in it that was about 4 inches long, transpaetn white color, and looked like a spaghetti noddle. I thought only cats and dogs got these. Should i just call my doctor, or go to the ER?

My 77 year old husband went into to hospital (private) in June to have a Knee replacement. 6weeks 5days and 3 trips to the theatre later he came home. Yes he had contracted Golden Staph. He has lost 13kgs because he doesn't feel like eating. He is now on two very very strong antibotics which we have been told could be for 2-3 years, but as a side effect has a very nasty/itchy rash from neck to groin. We have tried Pine Tar, metho, oitments from our own doctor and from a Skin Specialist nothing takes the itch away for more than 2 hours. We have even tried his own urine. Anyone got any old fashion remedies? We will try anything within reason.

1. my mom only done it once (by my dad of course) only for me to be born. I was taking a shower and I accidently slipped and my face went to her wet panties, because it got wet by water and the pantys was just took off when she took a shower like 5 hours ago and still wet.. Would I get any illness or HIV from this or is it because im her son and I got her blood that I wouldn't need to worry about that?

2. I was baby sitting this annoying little brat around 6 years old of age. I told him to go to the washroom and wash his hands... When I checked he ends up splashing pee on my face T_T would I get any virus out of this such as more risk of HIV... from the pee and the toilet water... I know the kid is young and oviously he isn't gonnna do sex but he's so bratty that he touch his ding dong and quickly wipes it in my face... I called his mother.. he got into big trouble

Answer it please I'm already paranoid enough getting viruses....

I have had a a virus or possible bacterial infection for the past two weeks. It started with sore throat, swollen lymph node (right side neck only) stuffy nose, fever, headache, and tiredness. After about 3-4 days the fever went away as did the headache and the sore throat. It started to flip flop between runny nose and stuffy nose. On the 7th day i went to the Dr. I started having bad nausea and some bowel issues. My white blood count was a little high (11.9) and the lymph node on the right side was still swollen so the dr gave me Doxicyclin anti biotic.
I took this for three days and went for a re check because i was still nauseated and lymoh node still swollen. They switched me to Amoxycillin. I have now been on it for 5 days and my right lymph node is STILL the same size. No fever, no more upper respitory symptoms. Just nausea that is worse in the AM and the swollen lymph node.
How long does it take for your lymph node to go down? not painful just swollen. Any ideas?
