Itch & Ooze: Gross Stuff On Your Skin

Have an itch? Let's zoom in for a closer look at what's causing it.

It could be one of many nasty things. How about bacteria poop? (It happens, and it stinks!) It might be a tiny critter that lives on people like a skin mite, louse, chigger, or other creature.

It could be a rash . . . or even flesh-eating bacteria. Your skin is your biggest organ, and an important one at that.

See all the nasty things that can go wrong - and right - on your skin, and learn about the skin's amazing ability to protect you and heal itself.

With close-up pictures and lots of disgusting facts, this book tells all about the gross science behind the skin you're in.
