This is the first of two articles on atopic eczema. The first article highlights the experience of an atopic eczema patient and a mother whose daughter suffers the condition.

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- It is estimated that one in five children under the age of five in Malaysia suffer from eczema, a skin condition that manifests as an itchy rash.

The condition is a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms include itch, reddish and flaky skin and in severe cases infected lesions.

OF SUICIDE AND HORSE URINE

Lee Mei Chieng from Petaling Jaya was born with atopic eczema. She went through her schooling being ridiculed and alienated just because she had 'ugly' skin.

Mei recalled how she was branded with bad names such as 'AIDS' and teased that she was shredding skins like snakes do. There was a lot of stigma and one of them is that the disease is contagious. The teachers were not much of a help due to the lack of awareness.

"I had no friends at all and became withdrawn and reserved. I would cry every morning when I wake up and before I sleep, thinking about having to go to school.

"The isolation and bullying became so bad that I developed clinical depression and was suicidal, and actually attempted suicide when I was about 12 years old," confessed Mei to Bernama recently.

Apart from the bullying she sometimes missed school due to flare-ups and seldom participates in PE (physical education) lesson because she cannot tolerate the sun's heat or sweat too much.

Living With Atopic Eczema

North Island farmers have been warned to check their stock for signs of facial eczema following a sharp jump in spore numbers from the fungus that causes this disease among livestock.

The disease is caused by spores from the fungus Pithomyces chartarum, which live in pasture and produce a spore containing a toxin that causes liver and bile-duct damage to livestock when eaten.

The high spore counts were the result of high soil temperatures and recent wet weather, AsureQuality facial eczema monitoring co-ordinator Leo Cooney said.

''There is a combination there that is a recipe for disaster.''

The most recent report from Gribbles Veterinary Laboratory on April 17 showed counts were at extremely high levels in many districts.

Most Waikato districts were rated as a high risk.

The district with the highest levels was the Hauraki Plains, which scored a count of 535,000 spores per gram followed by Waitomo, which scored 205,000 per gram.

The highest in the North Island was Horowhenua with 762,000 per gram.

Counts become dangerous to livestock when they measure over 100,000.

Cooney said the worst cases of facial eczema always followed droughts and these areas were the ones affected the most.
