For those of you have known me for a while, you may remember that back at the end of 2005 and into 2006, I faced a major skin infection. I was out of work for about a week in early January and subsequently ended up having to have a mammogram and many follow up doctor's visits due to a skin condition I somehow contracted (my guess is that it was after scratching myself on my chest after being at the gym). I read this on the NY Times and CNN today, and the articles echo exactly what my doctor told me near the end of my experience.

Folks, this stuff is very real.
