Unlike many other genetic disorders, Huntington's disease is caused by a full penetrance disease allele.  Full penetrance means what?
◦ The longer the allele (more triplet repeats), the more likely the disease is to occur in an individual.
◦ There are other genes that are also required for an individual to get Huntington's disease.
◦ There are environmental factors beyond age that are also required for an individual to get Huntington's disease.
◦ Individuals with a disease allele are almost certain to get Huntington's disease.
◦ Heterozygotes are just as likely to get Huntington's disease as homozygotes.

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
