Does herpes affect the integumentary system?
Yes, it does.

Herpes is a virus that can be transmitted by skin to skin contact or by sexual activity. You cannot get herpes from using an infected person’s towels or handkerchief because the virus dies quickly outside of the body.

The virus then will invade your skin and cause painful sores on whatever skin part it has invaded. Treatment for this is typically taking the drug called Acyclovir, an antiviral medication which can be taken orally, intradermally by ointment or cream and by intravenous route. Consult a doctor first, preferably a dermatologist to prescribe this to you. Do not be your own doctor if you have the capability to consult one and pay.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
