I just had a laugh when I found this image being used on All Women Stalk as an illustration for sexually transmitted diseases, specifically yeast infections. What does an onion root tip have to do with a vaginal yeast infection? I guess I will never know for sure... *LOL*

Hello. I am putting together some images for use in an educational publication. I'm not sure if my original message ever reached you, but I would like to ask you about using this image. I promise that we would have it labeled correctly :)
