mrsa is the infection people are contracting in hospitals and it is very difficult to treat its got something to do with using too many anti biotics so the germs become immune like a super bug.

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus.Is a hospital acquired inection. It is more common in the elderly or very ill patients. To get rid of MRSA. the patient will get a tube of anti=biotic cream if MRSA in nose, but the best way to rid is to use a wash of Hibiscrub(name here in UK) for all over body alongside the anti-biotics doc gives. It is VERY infectious, and is usually transmitted through hand contact, so washing hands is a must.

Poor Duzzie, my friends mom got it after bypass surgery, she had to have a really expensive antibiotic through her IV once a day. It worked but I guess after you get it, you never get rid of it.

I'm praying for Duzzie!

MRSA will not normally affect any normally healthy person, but it can br transferred very easily. so lets hope that duzzie is healthy in all other ways.

He will be in my thoughts and prayers. Proper handwashing and use of instant hand sanitizer is the best way to avoid this. Gloves for wound care even if its a family member should be practiced. It is quite pathetic that they just gave him a leaflet and in my opinion is not acceptable.

i totally agree with u im not happy that they just put him in a room and then gave him a leaflet. how insensitive of them. not heard from him for half hr or more now.x

That is awful. But, atleast they found it now before he went home and passed it on. Tell him we are thinking of him.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
