Accepted Answer

Do you mean Acne?: I assume u mean Acne? Acne is not contagious like a virus or poison ivy, and doesn't spread by touch. Acne is due to a combination of androgen hormone activity, excessive sebum production, clogged pores, inflammation and secondary infection.  Individuals are affected differently in severity and affected areas. There are several treatment options depending on severity. See ur dr to discuss options.

Question 4

are martinis as bad as other mixed drinks?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol is alcohol: Alcohol is not bad, it is toxic.  The form of alcohol does not make it any more or less toxic.

Question 5

why aren't proto-oncogenes always oncogenic?

Accepted Answer

Environmental Causes: Proto-oncogenes are genetic coding that, given the proper environment and triggers, will begin coding to the abnormal proteins leading to cancer.  Sometimes, even having proper oncogenes will not lead to a cancer.  I cannot stress enough that cancer is a combination of nature (genes) and nurture (environment) with a slightly heavier weight on nurture.
