In 1851 they were still to some extent a distinct people, but exist now only as one of the component divisions of the (Southern) Cheyenne tribe, in no respect different from the others. Under the name Staitan (a contraction of SÅ­tai-hitÃ¤n, pl. SÅ­tai-hitÃ¤nio, âSÅ­tai menâ) they are mentioned by Lewis and Clark in 1804 as a small and savage tribe roving west of the Black Hills.
Styes are usually caused by infections of the oil glands in the eyelid. Very frequently, they are infected by bacteria, most commonly Staphylococcus bacteria. Seborrhea (excessive oily discharge from the glands) may increase the likelihood of developing one of these infections.
It produces a toxin called Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), which kills infection-fighting white blood cells and can cause recurrent skin infections, such as boils and abscesses, according to Britainâs National Health Service. An internal stye on eyelid is caused by an infection of the meibomian gland. These glands on the eyelids produce an oily liquid that makes up part of the tear film that covers your eye. Styes are sometimes a complication of another condition called blepharitis, which causes the rims of your eyelids to become inflamed. This can result in burning or sore eyes, crusty eyelashes and itchy eyelids. Most styes heal without treatment.
