  1. An article published by The Conversation reports, that "two million people are infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the United States each year, and 23,000 people die as a result of these infections."  This report also points out, "Dermatologists, for example, prescribe five percent of antibiotics, but make up only one percent of all physicians."

    Antibiotic resistance is a very serious matter. The same article quotes Tom Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who said in a press conference on May 26, 2016, "The medicine cabinet is empty for some patients. It is the end of the road for antibiotics unless we act urgently."

  2. It is not uncommon for rosaceans to complain about artificial lights, particularly fluorescent lights, computer screens, etc. Whether any of these types of artificial lights actually trigger rosacea or not is something that should be tested in a double blind, controlled study to answer these type of trigger questions. At any rate, it is fun to watch this scene in Joe vs the Volcano where Tom Hanks says, "Zombie lights, I...I..I, can feel them sucking the juice out of my eyeballs. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck....gghhoooish!!!"

  3. "Omiganan is a cationic antimicrobial peptide, a first-in-class for rosacea, that is entering into phase 3 trials. In a phase 2 dose-ranging study (N=240),[18] it showed a dose-dependent reduction in inflammatory lesions. The 2.5% formulation resulted in a 40% reduction at week 9. Cutaneous tolerability was good."  Hilary Baldwin, MD, What's New in Acne and Rosacea, Medscape Dermatology, April 29, 2016 [last paragraph of the article]  Omiganan (CLS001) developed by Cutanea
