Quoting: rccola For a very short time, I intermittently worked with a guy abut 2 years ago that had some terrible skin condition, lots of open sores. The smell was more than I could take. Fortunately he moved on quickly. Like cystic acne sores or literally open sores? Open and in various states of healing. I asked him what it was called and he said that the Dr.s didn't know. He claimed that it was not contagious but I wasn't taking any chances. The smell was sickening, like a scab or something, I couldn't be down wind of him without feeling sick. |

They use isotretinoin, the severe acne drug, to try and help their skin. Super sad condition that is not limited to India nor caused by pollution. |

Su Zhe's commentary on this verse explains: "Heaven and Earth are not partial. They do not kill living things out of cruelty or give them birth out of kindness. We do the same when we make straw dogs to use in sacrifices. We dress them up and put them on the altar, but not because we love them. And when the ceremony is over, we throw them into the street, but not because we hate them." --Wiki |
