Flesh-Eating Bacteria: It Could Happen to You!
I have a compulsion disorder called dermatillomania, and this story may, MAY, help me curb it. MAY. If the MAY part sounds crazy, well, you've never had a compulsion disorder.

Thanks for the link to the story. I'm with you on the "may" part. Rotten messed-up brain... *grumble* *kicks pebble irritably*

I need to just throw away the damn magnifying mirror. I know I do. I try telling myself, "Cheri Huber would say, 'Anybody using magnification to search for your flaws is not on your side! Don't listen to them or do what they want you to do!'" And then I pick up the tweezers again. Argh.

Hell, a doctor told me when I was FIVE that I should stop doing it or I'd get an infection; although I still recall his disgust and impatience, I haven't stopped. Nor have I gotten an infection... yet?
