Sediments from an environment that has continuous oil seeps from the sea floor that put oil tar on the beach sands. This is awful. In this case we must plug the oil seeps, vacuum up all the sediments, store them safely underground forever and walk away from this discovery, lest the oil companies possibly get favorable reflected publicity from such a discovery. Yes, people will die, but oil companies getting favorable reflected publicity from such a discovery is worse. You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. (/liberal)
Both are also community acquired already.
I went in the hospital this year for what I thought was I acquired MSSA in my sternum, Twelve weeks four times a day of the most Thirty-eight doctors said I was going to die, I had been told I would be in the hospital for 8 - 10 day; I can no longer ride in a car with an air bag.The literature would suggest it is primarily acquired in hospitals.
a routine aortic valve replacement.
MSSA ate the sternum;
it had to be removed.
exotic antibiotics to kill the Staph infection.
one Infectious Disease Doctor saved my life.

Ping! (thanks, neverdem!)
It stands to reason that sooner or later a bacillus would use chemical warfare against the competition...maybe there are more antibiotics out there that fit the same mold (no pun intended).
Thanks for the ping!
msra me!
grand discovery!
I was lucky. It started like a pimple and then grew to the size of a golf ball. This was the worst pain I have ever had and I have had many injuries due to football, hockey, rock climbing, and several other stupid things young people do.
Anyway, the infection stayed above the muscle and spread over the left side of my chest in less than two days. My daughter drove me to Dewitt and I actually thought I would not make it there alive.
I have a small indentation in my armpit where the doctors opened the wound after two days of heavy antibiotics. I was truly blessed.
You’re Welcome, Alamo-Girl!

We put the chemical in the water and food supply, and nobody knew, or could have predicted the result.
