Brief Summary:
We are evaluating the effect of methylene blue and visible light activation on the microbiome of the skin.
Detailed Description:
Antiseptics are routinely utilized to prevent infections of vascular catheters. We are evaluating the addition of methylene blue and light activation on skin to determine whether this inexpensive and non-toxic treatment can decrease skin pathogens and prevent blood stream infections of long-term vascular catheters. This is a pilot study of normal volunteers to determine the effect on the microbiome of the addition of methylene blue and light activation on antiseptic-treated skin.
