So my white blood cells went up, which is what they're supposed to do when one has an infection. Of course, mine are just below normal but body is crushing that Staph infection like real people! FTW! I did get a surprise: Some grey patches of head hair became white overnight WTF?

Sounds like alopecia areata. Your immune system is making your darker hairs fall off, leaving only the white ones behind. Bodies are weird.

I'd heard of this but never actually knew it happening to anyone. It's not like all my hairs went white, but a bunch of them did, and are very wiry to the touch, which they weren't two days ago. Bodies are weird. Awful and Amazing! :D

Yeah. Kinda makes me freak out, if I think about these things too much. (I try to be calm about my white hairs, and the rate they increase.)
