What the Yuck: Gym machine germsToo embarrassed to ask your doctor about sex, body quirks, or the latest celeb health fad? In a regular feature and a new book, "What the Yuck?!," Health magazine medical editor Dr. Roshini Raj tackles your most personal and provocative questions. Send 'em to Dr. Raj at whattheyuck@health.com. Q: What's the worst thing you can catch from the machines at the gym? Probably the worst thing is the staph bacteria MRSA (short for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), the "superbug" that can cause a very aggressive and difficult-to-treat skin infection, which can invade the blood. This bug, which is resistant to most kinds of antibiotics, is spread through close contact - athletes on a sports team sometimes spread it to each other. What's scary is it can survive on gym machines between users. Wipe the equipment off with an antibacterial wipe before using it. And if you have any open sores or wounds or skin irritation, stay away from the machines because your broken skin will make you more vulnerable to contracting something.

The crux of your writing while appearing reasonable in the beginning, did not work well with me after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you managed to make me a believer but only for a while. I still have a problem with your jumps in logic and you would do well to help fill in those breaks. If you actually can accomplish that, I could undoubtedly be amazed.
