Why Should the Legal Age for Tattooing be Lowered? Would you prefer your child/grandchild have a safe tattoo or a potentially life threatening disease? A tattoo may be a scary thing for the parent of a teenager‚ but in the heart of a parent who loves their child the possible dangers of a tattoo achieved through the ambition of a teenager should far outweigh a little bit of ink-stained skin. Legal tattoo parlors are required to be licensed‚ provide a safe and sanitary environment‚ follow proper

particles are called pathogens. Around 1865‚ Joseph Lister found that cleaning his surgical tools with acid before a surgery greatly reduced the patient’s chance for getting an infection and dying. Until 1883‚ there was no way to test germ theory. Robert Koch changed that by developing four conditions: (1) the pathogen thought to cause a disease was present in every case; (2) the pathogen can be isolated from the body; (3) healthy animals will catch the disease when given the pathogen; and (4) the

second dose of the antibiotic A pathogen is to be any microorganism that has the ability to cause a disease or an infection on a host (ref). There are several factors that contribute to the ability of a pathogen to cause an infection. These factors include; mechanism of action‚ infectivity‚ pathogenicity‚ virulence factor‚ immunogenicity‚ and toxigenicity (ref). In relation to John’s case‚ the most influential factor responsible for the

mechanisms are referred to as nonspecific defenses because they operate against a wide range of pathogens. Other mechanisms are referred to as specific defenses because they target particular pathogens and pathogen-infected cells. Nonspecific mechanisms are the body’s primary defense against disease. These mechanisms include anatomical barriers to invading pathogens‚ physiological deterrents to pathogens‚ and the presence of normal flora. An example of an anatomical barrier is the nasal opening to

to somehow align. The host‚ pathogen‚ and environment/vector all have to interact at the same time. The vector-borne disease triangle illustrates that without one corner‚ the transmission of the disease would not be possible. This triangle includes hosts‚ environments/vectors‚ and pathogens. Hosts are often humans‚ dogs‚ or monkeys and are fed on by a vector. Vectors usually include mosquitos‚ fleas‚ ticks‚ mites‚ and many more. The last part of the triangle is pathogens‚ these consist of viruses‚

Pathogens have evolved and have various ways to transmit from one host to another. Transmission from one host to another is one way how microbes are able to survive in a long run and maintain their species survivability. If pathogens were not able to transmit‚ upon the death of the host‚ the microbes would not have any means to infect another host. Some pathogens have only one mean of transmitting whereas there are other pathogens that can be transmitted via many different methods. In general‚ there
