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.
A stye is an inflamed oil gland or hair follicle on the eyelid. It may occur along the lash line (external) or under the eyelid (internal). Both are swollen, red, and painful, but external styes usually do not last long. Styes are caused by bacteria that normally exist harmlessly on the skin of the eye. Styes often do not require treatment other than warm compresses, but for recurring styes, doctors may recommend an antibiotic.
