Thread: MRSA Staph Infection

So if you watch the news you know everyone is getting paranoid about the MRSA strand of Staph.

Today my sister went to the doctor cause she has had these bumps on her legs she thought were spider bites but guess what!

Its staph!

So its going to take the next 48 hours for her to become noncontagious so I have become extremely paranoid and always have a bottle of Germ X by my side.

I also have to use a special shampoo and body wash to help prevent me getting the staph infection and put this anti bacterial crap in my nose twice a day.

This sucks.

Damn, dejavu!

It's all good.

The brothers from the 80s had to learn which anti-crab shampoo was the same color as the one at home.

You got a prescription?

Fuck balls. You got it easy.

Can someone enlighten me on what staph is?

from Wikipedia:
It is a spherical bacterium, frequently living on the skin or in the nose of a person, that can cause a range of illnesses from minor skin infections, such as pimples, impetigo, boils, cellulitis and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases, such as pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis, Toxic shock syndrome (TSS), and septicemia.

So she definitely has MRSA, so I take baths in surgical sterilization crap. Makes me smell lovely.

Bubble?

Ouch. That's scary stuff.

I hope you don't get sick. If you do, then I'm short a pilot for this month's match. :P
