heres a few facts for you Okie...


MRSA is an acronym for Methicilin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, which is an infectious bacterial disease that is resistant to many different antibiotics. There are two forms of MRSA: CA-MRSA, which stands for Community-Associated MRSA, and HA-MRSA, which stands for Health Care-Associated MRSA. CA-MRSA is a strain of MRSA that differs from the more studied HA-MRSA because it developed outside of the Health Care setting.

In recent years CA-MRSA has spread quickly across the United States and has become the most common cause of cultured skin infections. Both HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA strains can cause skin infections in jail and prison detainees, soldiers, Native Alaskans and Native Americans, inner-city children and athletes.

Common ways to contract the infection is through skin-to-skin contact, scrapes, cuts, and abrasions. Doctors suggest that sharing personal items like combs, brushes, makeup, cell phones, razors gym towels and other effects of this nature contribute to the spread of the infection and should be curtailed.

Common warning signs in the initial infection stage resemble sores, pimples, boils, spider bites, and excessive swelling around small cuts, scrapes or abrasions. As the MRSA infection progresses the infection worsens into abscesses, puss-filled blisters, or larger, more sensitive sores. Doctors and experts recommend that if you have any sores that will not heal or if those sores are full of pus, see your doctor quickly and ask for a staph infection test to be administered. You should not squeeze the sores or attempt to drain as this is one of several prominent ways to spread the infection. The pus in the sores carries a high concentration of the infection and should be treated with care and cleaned off of the skin or surface if the sore is accidentally squeezed or drained.

Effective cleaning methods include sanitizing the surface with alcohol and quaternary ammonium and decolonization by showering with chlorhexidine or hexachlorophene anti-septic soap from head to toe. Poor hygiene habits are a major contributor to the spread of MRSA, doctors and experts recommend washing your hands regularly, they also recommend that misuse or overuse of antibiotics during MRSA treatment can allow the bacteria to evolve into a new form that is more resistant to clinical drug treatments and that antibiotics should only be taken when necessary.

If you happen to live with someone who is MRSA infected, you are recommended to switch to a alcohol based soap and begin decolonization practices to lessen the chance of being infected.


MRSA is a fatal disease and is caused due to Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. MRSA stands for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. MRSA causes skin and soft tissue infection and can also lead to pneumonia. The MRSA symptoms are some times overlooked and ignored which could be deadly.

Hence if some one deducts the following symptoms it should be diagnosed and treated immediately. It all starts as a small red inflammation often mistaken as pimple, boils or a spider bite. These gradually develop into deep pus that would require surgical draining out. If it is ignored then it would enter the body causing fatal infection to the bones, joints, lungs and even heart. Another symptom usually seen when you are infected by the bacteria is a rapid spread of the infection in your skin. Apart from the infection the person affected will have little or no reaction to antibodies. Swollen, red, tender tissues are also symptom for MRSA. Extreme pain in the affected area and warmth of the body are some other symptoms. Some people also get urinary tract infection as a result of these bacteria. Healthy adults and children who don’t have MRSA may also be carriers of MRSA since they can carry the bacteria on their skin and inside their nose these people are colonized and incase of a cut or wound the people are infected.

image It is difficult to treat these bacteria since it is resistant to commonly used antibodies so it is important to consult a doctor if your infection is not getting better after 3 or 4 days and the infection is getting worse. Also if you have a fever then it adds to the trauma. If you have an illness and poor immune system then it certainly requires a detailed diagnosis. In most cases MRSA can be cured if deducted early, but if the infection spreads then it would be fatal. People affected with MRSA must wash their hands and keep it clean. Close the wound with a clean bandage and make sure not to touch others wound or cut. Do not share your towel or razors. Hence it is important that you consider the above points and see to the symptoms to cure MRSA as early as possible.

that mrsa can be some bad stuff! Its amazing how we adapt to things like that. I feel for you queen & your hubby.

All is ok my way. I did get some bad news though...one of my cousins was killed in a riding lawn mower accident. He was mowing apparently, a limb knocked him off the mower & the safety switch on the mower didn't go off & the mower landed on him & crushed his skull. So all you mowing people please be very carefull!

Glad to hear things are going ok for you though.

Thanks again Scoot for the PM.

I am going back to bed...gonna be a dreary rainy day here. I can feel the motivation being zapped from me already...

 

[no chicks here]

Thanks Ris.

I'm not pregnant but, I tell you...I fully understand the no energy from the dreary, rain.

Yesterday was a sleepy day & today doesn't look any better. Not that I'm complaining rain is good. The weather man said if we don't hit 90 come Friday, that it looks like we wont for the month of July. That is very odd!

Good luck Scoot!

I caught a glimpse of Karan on the babyghan thread. She's busy trying to rustle up some babyghan assemblers and square doers... Anyone interested? I would, but squares give me hives and my hooks are still on strike and I highly doubt I could assemble anything resembling a babyghan. It would end up looking like a misshapen mess.

Hope things went the way they were supposed to, today, Scoot.
