    Likely got some beta-hemolytic staphylococcus aureus all up in there. It’s a community derived strain of a common microorganism of the skins biome that can kill blood cells. Do you get sore-throats often, itchy nostrils?

      It’s been a decade or more since I did it, but I wasn’t very frequently sick at the time, nor am I now. I do get more severely sick than my husband now, but he’s an overweight omnivore and I’m an underweight vegan, so I assume it’s more related to that. Itchy nostrils sound awful, but I’ve never had them.
