My husb and I are both in medical fields. He is exposed in a hospital on a daily basis and has in fact, had MRSA 3 times. Each time was successfully treated with strong antibiotics.
That's why I didn't think they were the same, he never had any flesh-eating issues.
Scary stuff.
They say that beating it, or controlling it depends on whether you have a strong immune system or not. That’s why drug addicts are so subject to it.
