Rash facts. 1  Rash is not a specific diagnosis. Instead it refers to any sort of skin inflammation and/or discoloration that distorts the skin's normal appearance. 2  Common rashes include eczema, poison ivy, hives, and athlete's foot. 3  Infections that cause rashes may be fungal, bacterial, parasitic, or viral.
Many of us use the term Styrofoam as a reference to most plastic foam packaging. We include foam drinking cups, packaging peanuts and the white material that our appliances, toys and so many other items are packaged in. In fact, most of this is not Styrofoam.
Researchers found that Styrofoam cups lose weight when in use, meaning that styrene is oozing into the foods and drinks we consume. It then ends up stored in our fatty tissue, where it can build up to levels that can cause fatigue, nervousness, difficulty sleeping, blood abnormalities, and even carcinogenic effects.
