Re: MSRA in VA school kills and community based MSRA

I'm not sure what you're asking. Any kind of skin disturbance from pus producing open sores to boils to persistent rashes could be MRSA related. These articles always crack me up. They continuously acknowledge that staph can cause "mild" infections or "deadly" blood infections, but no one seems to want to acknowledge that there's a range of infection between the two extremes, like chronic recurring sinus infections, etc. They did have to admit that the boy died because the infection had damaged his major organs, which I hope is a wake up call for the medical community, but I'm not holding my breath. pennyamydent9 <amydent9@...> wrote: http://health.msn.com/general/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100171996 & GT1=10514http://health.msn.com/guides/agingwell/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100136375does anyone ahve picture of the kind of skin infections this causesthanks, amy

I had something that worried me afew months back... a cluster of

inflammed bumps on my side that looked like spider bites ( 2 bumps

close together) that just got worse and orse despite what I did and I

put every topical abx/fungal on it I had. And there were deep pus

filled blisters.. I finally heated up the round head of a safety pin

and cauterized them before they got so big I couldn't, then put

coconut oil on them .. that healed them..

AT first I thought these were bites from something- or nettle stings -

but they were so inflammed around them and really got worse (it was

almost like my immune system was ignoring them)..

It crossed my mind it was staph or strep.. it got my attention.
