Yuck. My tonsils look like cauliflower. For the past three days now, every time I swallow, it feels as if I’m swallowing razor blades. I long for a refreshing drink of cool water. It’s excruciating to swallow my own spit. Strep is a cruel bacteria. It not only robs you of the ability to function normally, to sleep comfortably, to eat anything, or to drink a cool, refreshing drink of ANYTHING. No: it has the unbelievable ability to rob a teacher from one of the many perks that come with the profession: SNOW DAYS! I can’t believe I had to spend a perfectly good snow day cooped-up in my bed, trying to fight off this stupid ailment. Snow days are supposed to be spent shopping. First, you go out for breakfast, and then you go shopping. Everybody knows this. WHY??????

Comment by Tiffany (daugher) January 7, 2009 @ 3:12 ampyogenes infections are pretty bad; it’s the “real” strep throat; many people say they have strep when actually they have a normal upper respiratory tract infection with Staph epidermidis or Staph aureus, pygoenes, however, is bad stuff. I’ve had cultures go bad with pyogenes and you can’t even kill it will 70% ethanol which usually kills and/or steralizes anything.
