Socialite Khloe Kardashian responded angrily to hecklers on Twitter.com taunting her for pretending to care about estranged husband, Lamar Odom.
Kardashian took to Twitter.com to lash out at her followers who criticized her for dating NBA star James Harden, 26, while pretending to care about Odom, whom she hasn't seen in weeks.
Previously, I told you about rapper T.I.'s niece, Kamaya, who was sickened with a serious skin infection. According to Kamaya's social media accounts, she was hospitalized for a week with a boil inside her nose. The infection started out as an innocuous pimple inside her nostril. The pimple developed into a boil, then into an abscess. Thankfully, Ms. Harris has recovered from her ordeal.
But others weren't as fortunate. Three patients died of pneumonia caused by a Staph infection within days of each other at a hospital in London, Ky., USA Today reports. One man, Eric Allen, 39, was admitted with a serious form of pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. Allen was described as "coughing up bits of lung tissue" before his organs failed and he died.
Rapper T.I.'s niece, Kamaya Harris, posted the following photos on her Instagram page today. In the caption she wrote:
I wasn't going to post this but I wanted to share my flow for the past 3 days... They have been very miserable, very sleepless, & very painful but thru it all God is good almost over & I'll be back to myself soon
The "boil" is real
Based on the information in her caption, I'm guessing she is suffering from a painful boil (Furunculosis, Folliculitis) inside her nose that can be caused by Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
You may recall my discussion on Staphylococcus Aureus in my Medical Minute post on MRSA. I told you that Staph lives on our skin and inside our noses. When the bacteria colonizes our noses it becomes necessary to decolonize the nose with antibiotics to prevent recurrent infections.
