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.
Eye styes are a major problem for many people. Caused by a bacterial infection and irritation to the inner regions of the eyelid, a stye can fester and cause an annoying and unsightly blister at the site of the eyelid. It usually occurs at the corner, and can affect vision and cause extreme discomfort for the sufferer. Practice putting your hands in your pocket or doing something else if you have a habit of touching your eye often with your fingers. 2  Dab your eye with a clean Kleenex or cloth instead if you feel the need to dab your eye. 3  Apply warm tea bags or a warm compress to affected styes to aid in the healing process.
