WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: Acne

But now, there seems to be a way to get rid of this curse. Scientists believe that a harmless virus that lives on our skin could be used as a treatment for acne. The virus, called a phage, is naturally built to target and kill bacteria that cause acne - Propionibacterium acnes. Experts at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Pittsburgh found 11 different versions of virus in this phage family that had this power. They plan lab work to see if they can harness it as a therapy, and I hope that something comes out of it. And speaking of coming (apologies in advance for the rude pun), Michael Kevin Lallana, who was convicted last February of two misdemeanor counts of battery for putting semen in a co-worker’s water bottle, will have his appeal heard on Thursday. In this case, the sentence handed down in April of last year (180 days behind bars and three years probation) has been on hold pending this appeal, and if he did in fact ejaculate in his co-worker's water, then he should be sent to jail and hopefully given a taste of his own medicine in the showers. And speaking of showers, a man from Kearney, Nebraska is behind bars for videotaping a woman who was taking a shower in his home. Anthony Quintana was sentenced to three months in jail for misdemeanor unlawful intrusion. He also was fined $500.
