Re: Reasons Not to Pop MRSA
Great question! A very serious antibiotic resisting staph infection or Methycillan Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. Had to look it up  |

Re: Reasons Not to Pop MRSA
Basically it means that this strain of staph has mutated to the point where certain antibiotics won't help fight off the infection anymore. Personally I think it's because we overprescribe antibiotics when they're not needed.

Re: Reasons Not to Pop MRSA
And I think there's an obsession with some people about not catching germs so they use hand sanitizer every five minutes and wash with antibacterial this that and the other....

Re: Reasons Not to Pop MRSA
I try to get my great niece to wash her hands when we leave the playground since I heard they found staph germs on equipment tested before she eats. Sometimes she does and sometimes she won't. I hate seeing sick children. Kids naturally have all kinds of gooey stuff coming out from all of their holes and touching things and putting their hands on their faces and/or in their mouths. I carry baby wipes, triple antibiotic, bandaids, hand sanitizer with and without alcohol, everywhere. There are those who believe you have to eat some dirt to survive and I'm sure I did it as a kid. I don't recall, but, we ordered fast food and ate it without washing our hands and are still here, so I don't know what the real answer is. I guess we have to do what we feel is right and hope for the best! |

Re: Reasons Not to Pop MRSA
Staph aureus is all over our skin as well. And as a side note for washing hands, the more you scrub the more bacteria you have once you scrub that protective layer off exposing the bacteria. So don't scrub too hard or you'll have more germs than you started with (unless you obviously have something gross on them lol). Did a fun experiment with it. Divided a dish with an agar on it into 4 quadrants. Touched first spot with unwashed thumb. Rinsed hands no soap for second spot; washed hands 30 sec with soap third spot and then 1 minute with soap for fourth spot. You'd be surprised at the bacterial growth after you wash your hands on the fourth spot as compared to the first. Sooo many different bacterial colonies. It made me feel not as bad when I wash my hands for not doing it longer lol. |
