Over the weekend, my month-old daughter contracted miliaria. No, not “malaria”: miliaria.

Miliaria is a skin disease marked by small and itchy rashes. It’s basically caused when sweat glands get clogged with dead skin or bacteria. It’s often seen in infants because their aforementioned sweat glands are underdeveloped. Wanna see what it looks like?

Anyway, just like many other conditions and diseases, it has a common name which is much more awesome than its clinical one. You know, like pertussis and whooping cough, herpes zoster and shingles, or chorea and St. Vitus’ dance. Turns out miliaria is also known as “prickly heat.” Isn’t that an amazingly wonderful name? Times New Viking is also a remarkable, nay, outstanding name. And their nebulous, low-fi, fuzzed out, noisy sounds are just as prickly, and perhaps even more infectious! HAR HAR CONTAGION AS FASHIONABLENESS
