What sort contagious diseases can I pick up from using gym equipment?


Not paranoid just curious.
I suspect towels would be of little use, and would probably transfer the disease, virus or whatever. I never saw any disinfectant bottles at my gym, but good idea.
I did when I went, but some people didn't use towels despite the signs.
----------

Alway carry your own towel with you. Dont use public stuff. Be ware of infection in those sweat smelly gyms it so unhygenic. Do your outdoor exercises like walking and joggin and runing etc and also stretches in the park or at your home garden. Buy a treadmill and weights and do your exercises at home. Play a video of gym exercises and follow them ou your home TV.prevention is better than cure.  (+ info)

Will going threw a MRI pick up diseases like hepatitis A B or C?Does the mri pick up liver problems?


An MRI will not detect Hepatitis of any kind. Hepatitis is confirmed or denied using a series of blood tests only. MRI's are not used to detect liver problems, nor are they capable of picking up any type of liver problems. MRE's however (Magnetic Resonance Elastography) can detect early signs of liver diseases and liver function problems.

MRI's are completely different. They are used to detect brain tumors, abnormalities within the brain, vascular anomalies of the head, aneurysms, eye and inner ear disorders, strokes, multiple sclerosis, some chronic diseases of the nervous system, and headache causes. They are not used to detect liver problems.  (+ info)

----------

I got the following from a website. Not very promising and you probably have already heard of it.

Causes
Niemann-Pick disease is inherited. It is an autosomal recessive trait, which means that both parents must carry the abnormal gene for their child to inherit the disease. The exact cause depends on the type of Niemann-Pick disease.


Treatment
No specific or effective treatment currently exists for Niemann-Pick disease. Patients with type B may be given oxygen to help with lung problems. Research is focusing on the use of bone marrow transplantation, enzyme replacement therapy, and gene therapy.  (+ info)

What diseases can you get from touching trash?


Say you take out the trash and don't wash your hands afterward. What kind of diseases/germs can you pick up? Or is this a germaphobe type of question?
----------

It is a germaphobe kind of question.

So take a deep breath, take out the trash, and wash your hands.

All the best.  (+ info)
