body jewelry frequently asked questions
If you think that you are experiencing an infection, the first thing you should do is contact your piercer and have them look at the piercing. You may also want to see a doctor about the problem. Both of these solutions can be problematic, though. An unscrupulous piercer may spend less time helping you remedy the situation than he/she does trying to deflect "blame" from himself.

In Texas, can the practice of medicine occur at cosmetology salons?

Cosmetology Frequently Asked Questions
No cosmetology statute limits a salon to exclusively providing cosmetology services and products. In fact, traditionally, salons have offered many non-cosmetology services, such as tanning and body massage. A growing trend is the “medispa” business. At these facilities, both medical and cosmetology services are offered. The cosmetology statute and rules do not prohibit this practice; however, appropriate licenses must be obtained.

Avian Flu: Frequently Asked Questions - Shenyang, China
Wild waterfowl are the natural reservoir of all influenza A viruses. They have probably carried influenza viruses, including H5 and H7 subtypes in the low pathogenic form with no apparent harm for centuries.
