Dear Shannon, you get a far bigger list of rx if you use Skin, ulcers,
phagedenic and infection from the outside would probably be the
infection that replicates internally. Staph bacterium can cause toxic
shock as you know as well as infective endocarditis but so can other
bacteria and parasites such as the heartworm (apparently spreading like
wild fire in the US). It sounds like the staph you are referring to in
the latter part of your post is the non-aureus type, which is found on
the skin of everyone that could be getting bolshy
Sx that develop from a cat scratch obviously point to the individual's
susceptibility but it also has to take into consideration whatever the
cat (or any animal) is carrying and I believe that Pasteurella
multocida is another likely cause.
Castor oil has been used since ancient times as an anti inflammatory
(possibly because of the glycerin content??) but you can see how the
acid has been used as a terrorist substance - all the euphorbias have
this potential but Ricinis is one of the worst - no after effects of
this I hope
Best wishes, Joy
