Unless if your immune system sucks or if you have open wounds. You probably shouldnt worry.

Alcohol based hand gels also kill mrsa.

M = Monkey
R = Rectal
S = Secretions
A = Allowed

You can only have 6 in a large crowd, evidently we exceeded 6.

Had MRSA about 5 years ago. Had to have this massive boil lanced open. It sucked. It hurt. And the nurses face when it was cut open was priceless.

MRSA is a big deal IMHO. People with open wounds and suppressed immune systems should have higher level of concern, however all people are at risk of contracting this infection. A little research will reveal how dangerous it can be. If MRSA becomes a systemic infection vs a localized one, it can be fatal. I'm not saying you should be worried, I am saying you should be aware.

Agreed. I got it in my lower leg in 2007. I was on a diving trip in Roatan, Honduras. Had a mild case of DCS and a slight brush from a coral. It must have gotten into the open cut. Didn't realize it until the flight into Houston. By the time I got there my leg was all swollen and I could barely walk. Went to the doctor when I got back to Oregon, he took a sample from my now swollen like a football knee. MRSA. Had to get some nasty antibiotics that are one of only a couple left that work for it.

I did a lot of research on it and I had no idea how many thousands of people die from it every year. Serious stuff.

Yes. Not to be taken lightly. And the run of antibiotics kill a lot of the good bacteria that we have. This, many times causes (or allows) infections like VRE.

Loads of people have MRSA up their nose and they will never ever know.

This is absolutely true. The bacteria can be found many places.

I think the media started calling it mersa. (Or lay persons) As a general rule, medical professionals don't say that. It is M R S A.

exactly, chances are 1/3 people on this forum have some form of staph on their skin.

Try going asleep with that in your mind you nerds.
