Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is an infectious disease that belongs to a group of diseases known as the spotted fever group rickettsioses. It is caused by infection with the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii (R. rickettsii), which is usually transmitted by a tick bite.
Marilyn Monroeâs size was measured by one of her dress makers and released as 5â5â tall, 35â bust, 22â waist, and 35â hips. Her bra size was 36D. During Marilynâs time, her waist was about 2-3 inches smaller than the average woman in America and by todayâs average she was 12 inches smaller.
The oft-repeated factoid that the curvy bombshell wore clothing in a US size 12 â or UK size 16 â has been used to signify the way beauty standards have changed over the past 50 or so years. But while Marilynâs clothing tags did in fact include double-digit numbers, a size 12 in 1958 was a lot smaller than it is today.
