Re: Re: Gerberding on CSPAN now MRSA part 2

I had staph infection for 3 years before I

started college. I went to 7 different Doctor’s, the 1st

5 were idiots since I told them I had staff and they said, no you don’t.

Finally by the 6th and 7th Dr.s they understood I had it

on my skin instead of in my blood. No antibiotic worked to get rid of it

completely, it just kept coming back. But the last 2 Dr.s recommended I

scrub my body with Hibbie cleanse. Which does not need a prescription but

it is sold behind the pharmacy counter. It’s what some surgeons use

to scrub in before surgery. Hibbie cleanse plus the antibiotic finally

got rid of it. And just in time because the last time I had it there were

6 on my leg and I almost lost my leg. So just in case anyone was

wondering what might help. It is most painful than giving birth so I just

wanted to pass on what worked for me. My school district just sent out

the warning that one child has it. –

PS , needs a whole body inside

out makeover!!

Yes, extremely scary when they tell you,

when you are so young, that you might loose your leg. You’re poor

nephew!! How old was he? I wouldn’t wish that pain on

anyone. Nor the embarrassment from a teenager’s perspective.

I knew it was staph because my friend took

too many Nodos when we were 15yrs and she caught staph from the hospital when

they were giving her activated charcoal and then I caught it from her.

That’s when I 1st realized how clueless Dr.s were, because I

knew what I had and they kept denying that I did. Geniuses! -

How awful! I'm glad that you survived! My nephew had

it three years ago. He was in the

ICU for a week, then had a port inserted and was on IV antibiotics for three

months. We

almost lost him. They thought that it started through a wound playing soccer.

It spread

throughout his body. Really scary stuff!

Each infection (I had more than I could

count over the 3 years) comes in the form of a boil. Gets into areas

where hair grows or you have an open wound. The boils have a hard, raised

outer circle, skin can be red and white and peaks to a head, usually black

and/or white. Yes, I know sounds disgusting and they look even worse.

They can spread very easily if not treated properly.

I wouldn’t get a vaccine for it if

you held a gun to my head. I can just imagine the immune complications

and reactions that would occur with such a vaccine.

For three years? Thankfully you're alive and whole.

What an ordeal.

And even so, I assume you're among the people who think the idea of

a MRSA vaccine is idiotic.

Do you know where you got it and how did it manifest, for those of

us who don't know a thing about it or what to look for?

I was a teenager and didn’t know

there were different strains and they never specified (this was 20 years ago).

But mine was resistant to antibiotics for a long time but I did not have it in

my blood, only living on my skin. It was extremely contagious because my

friend gave it to me within days and I then quickly gave it to my sister.

My friend had it for almost a year, my sister had it for something like 2 years

until they took her tonsils out and they were full of the staph. -

was he playing the soccer on artificial turf? We are having a major debate in our school district over whether to install natural grass or turf> I heard that MRSA infections are more common on artificial turf, anyone know anything about it?

That probably moved in after they vaccinated her for some minor childhood infection.

ah the interconnected web of life!!!

As far as the artifical turf thing -- this brings to mind another comparison..... mold. In its pure form, growing in a forest somewhere -- it is harmless. It is when it starts growing on an artifical surface like drywall -- that it turns toxic = staccybatrus (sp?).How are they going to disinfect artifical turf -- spray it with bleach every day??? That's a lot of bleach. lol Not so funny when you think of the respiratory problems using bleach for this staph problem will cause. There's a new epidemic!Roxanacat_11 <anacat_11@...> wrote: Who needs the outgassing. They can get that indoors. > > > > > > > > Unbelievable. Here we go.
