Is it true people can shed dandruff in your food?

Sure, and saliva, whatever else. Hair is the most noticable. Plus, a lot of cooks don't wear gloves while making your food. I've had hairs, fingernail, a pebble, and a band aid in my food different times during my life. I've refused food because the person making it was gloveless and wiping snot on her hands while wrapping the food. I've had waiters sneeze directly at the food. All very yucky, makes me want to stay home and cook for myself!

no dandruft is an effect on the scalp around the roots of growing hair, you can get dry skin though which in some ways can resemble dandruft

same as everyone else who gets dandruff. I can understand why you would be confused though. Dandruff is the flaking of the scalp and if the scalp is black wouldn't the flakes be too, right? Well, all skin, no matter what color, is white when if flakes off because it is dead skin. It's just like when you scratch your arm and the area looks white at first. It's the same with black people.

no!!\nI watched this on the Science channel the other day, some guy tested it out, dropping food in various places for 5 sec. and then testing it for microbiological growth. The bacteria was transferred immediately upon the  food hitting the ground. What's important is the moisture content of the food, though. If the food was wet then lots of bacteria was transferred. So if you drop a dry piece of food or a medicine pill, then you're less likely to get germs on it.  Also, the location of the dropped food is important too. Places that get a lot of sunshine (like the sidewalk) have a lot fewer germs than say, the floor of your house.

You forget "Drizzle"! (as in olive oil) - but yes, I quite agree with you. I think the correct term for all this "cheffy" nonsense is "Bullshit" - because I can think of no other more fitting term!

It could be caused by stress and your diet(if you eat alot of sugars and salts)......\njust keep looking for different shampoos and definietly condiditiors BUT the reason why you can't find one that 'works' is that you should NOT wash your hair EVERYday (no its not unsatitary or gross) it lets the NATURAL oils of the scalp absorb into the hair giving it hydration if you wash your hair everday then your drying out your scalp and not letting theses oils settle in try washing your hair every other day and retry some of the dandruff hair products b/c you might find them to work now if you follow the advice of how much to wash your hair (use hot/warm water also!). This has actually been helpful to alot of people that i've told. Remedies probably could be looked up on google...let me see....Aloe vera Thoroughly rub a thick gel of aloe vera leaves into the scalp; leave overnight; shampoo in the morning.\n\nApple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar will help restore the proper acid/alkaline balance of the scalp and kill a bacteria that clogs the pores that release oil to the scalp. The clogged pores result in scales and crusts being formed. Apply apple cider vinegar diluted 50% with water to the scalp and let dry. There is no need to rinse. Another similar remedy suggests pouring two tablespoons into a cup, applying the straight vinegar to the scalp, and leaving it on from 15 minutes to three hours before shampooing. Lemon juice may also be used. It is the acid in these remedies that helps bring the scalp back into chemical balance.\n\nCoconut oil Rub some pure coconut oil in your hair daily. The dandruff should clear up in a few days.\n\nGrapefruit seed extract Mix 7-10 drops with the normal amount of shampoo you use. Massage into your hair and leave on for at least 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water, avoiding contact with eyes. \n\nListerine For mild cases of dandruff, use the mouthwash Listerine. It has antiseptic properties. Do not use on cases where the skin is broken as the Listerine can be irritating.\n\nIf any of this doesn't help see a doctor (best if a dermotologist)they can probably give great product and procedure advice. Good luck!\n\n***************If you found this helpful press "best answer" it will give points to both me and you. Thanks :)!**************

You may have dandruff for several reasons and there are many misconceptions about it...it might be a type of psorisis. Wikipedia has a better explanation than I can give you. A good dandruff shampoo (like Nizoral) should take care of it. You might switch hair products, too (don't use cheap hair gel.)

My son had this problem.  The dermatoligist told him to wash his hair with a dandruff shampoo.  Something to do with oil from his hair.  Has been several years since then, and he has no problems now.

Yes, it affects smell and taste, in men and women. Avoid things like onion, garlic, asparagus, and I suppose different spices could do it too.

It's actually not dry scalp. It's oily scalp that causes dandruff. Use head and shoulders or you can try natural junk like apple cider vinegar, or rubbing salt to break apart dead skin.

Dandruff is the excessive flaking of dead skin that forms on the scalp. As it is normal for skin cells to die and flake off, a small amount of flaking is normal and in fact quite common. Some people, however, either chronically or as a result of certain triggers, experience an unusually large amount of flaking, which can also be accompanied by redness and irritation. Most cases of dandruff can be treated with specialized shampoos or common household remedies which are available over the counter at your local pharmacy.\nDandruff can also be a symptom of seborrhea dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infection or head lice. Excessive scratching should be avoided. Scratching to the point of causing breaks in the skin can increase the risk for infections, particularly from staph and strep bacteria. While these infections are the biggest risk from dandruff, many people find that dandruff can cause social or self-esteem issues, so treatment can be very important for purely social reasons. So it might be better if you had a check with your doctor on this. \nHowever I find that "Garnier Anti- Dandruff" shampoo and conditioner works well as using this on a regular basis keeps the dandruff at a low level as well as getting sufficient exercise and eating well and stress less. \nAs for acne it depends on how bad your case is as to what will work the best. When i was a bit younger i had fairly bad acne and i went to my doctor and she gave me pills for it. You could also try a number of household remedies for eg- \n- try putting some metho on a tissue and wiping the excess oil, doing this for a few day on and a few days off\n- my mother used to tell me to put toothpaste on face b4 i went to sleep which also helped \nIn conclusion i suggest to go and consult your doctor he/she maybe able to give you something or there are a number of herbal treatments.\nBest of all when you have found the product that works for you stil to it.\nGood luck as its a long road.

Stay away from certain cough and cold medicines, mouth washes, tonics, sauces, vinegars,and any alcohol that may be absorbed through your skin from after-shave lotions, liniments, and other skin products.\n\nI really couldnt find a list of foods with hidden alcohol concentrates. Anything with high vinegar amounts you should stay away from.

I have the same exact problem. My dermatologist said it is seborrheic dermatitis, same thing as dandruff. Hope that won't gross you out! But anyways, hydrocortisone cream every fews days should take care of it. If not, see the doc.

Well, you would know if it was lice,\nIt could be just dandruff. There are special shampoos available at grocery stores for lice treatment. Also boil all of your hairbrushes, sheets, pillow cases. good luck!
