Jogging for Jonah – The Fight to Cure EB

The skin is missing the anchors that bind it to the body and therefore the slightest touch cause painful blisters inside and outside of the body. Those who are affected spend their entire lives enduring a pain that most of us cannot comprehend and will most likely never know if our own lives. There is no cure, the only effective treatment is diligent wound care. This means several hours of bandage changes along with vinegar and or bleach baths to prevent more blisters and infections which can be lethal.
