Tic Tic Tic Tic

So I was cooking dinner and watching forensic shows again. I apparently wasn't paying attention, because all of a sudden I hear "STELARA is a prescription medicine that affects your immune system. STELARA can increase your chance of having serious side effects." They then went on:

STELARA can make you more likely to get infections or make an infection that you have worse.

STELARA may decrease the activity of your immune system and increase your risk for certain types of cancer.

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) RPLS is a rare condition that affects the brain and can cause death.

This is a drug to treat plaque psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis is an autoimmune reaction to streptococcus. These people have an untreated strep infection somewhere in their body and the antibodies are attacking their skin instead.

Rather than find it and treat it, this drug shuts down their immune system so they don't make antibodies at all.

Imagine the possibilities of clearer skin indeed.
