Research highlights nastier form of MRSA

I have a hot tub and we keep it clean...but not every public one is the cleanest.

How do staph skin infections spread?

The cleanest person can get a staph infection. Staph can rub off the skin of an infected person and onto the skin of another person when they have prolonged skin-to-skin contact. Staph from an infected person can also get onto a commonly shared item or surface, and then get onto the skin of the person who touches it next. Examples of commonly shared items are towels, benches in saunas or hot tubs, and athletic equipment - in other words, anything that could have touched the skin of a staph infected person can carry the bacteria to the skin of another person.

Well, if I remember it there was a red swollen circle at first. I thought it was a spider bite at first, and I went to the emergency room thinking it was just that. But the doc said it was staph. Touching it was painful.

I am so sorry about your brother.

We are not young, but have never been seriously sick, and didn't even have a regular doctor until we found out that my husband has cancer. I had no clue as to the seriousness of this infection. I do NOW!

"You are right - antibacterial soaps are bad. These super-resistant bacteria and virus strains are not resistant to hydrogen peroxide nor are they resistant to colloidal silver. There are also many natural and herbal remedies for stuff that are better than the antibiotics that cause the mutated resistant strains."

It sounds crazy but what you stated is exactly WHY I literally threw out the antibacterial soaps. I'm partial to alternative - any recommendations on herbal soaps?

YOu bet!

Let em laugh! They're the silly ones.

Drive me crazy - soap and water is the answer!

"I also use a lye soap my friend makes for cleaning and regular store brand bleach."

I will check up on lye soap. I don't know much about it.

Bleach I use ALLOT!

Oh, that sounds awful!

Hope he's okay now.

I worked with a guy who was a transmission mechanic at the Chevy dealership. If he cut himself, he put transmission fluid on the cut. Never got infected as far as I know.

"The most common cause of staph infections, S. aureus is a bacteria found on the skin or in the nose of about 25-30 percent of people."

And you rubbed your nose...

Believe it or not but it started out in my LEFT ear!

Then i t spread to my left index finger - from itching it, my right nostril and a pimple on my left check on my face then ... ahem in the nether regions. I was going NUTS!!!

It did clear up though and I am relieved.

I had the CHILLS like you wouldn't believe. I felt like I was DRUNK. I couldn't take my daughter to school - I was that off balance. My head felt like someone beat it all night. It was awful.

I love colloidal silver.

It saved my cat's life last summer. Freedom had an open wound on his back leg (still not sure how it happened), that got infected. He would get a little better then it would get worse, about 3 weeks after the injury he stopped eating and drinking.

It was Wednesday and I thought he'd be dead by the weekend. My mom suggested using silver so we put some in a spray bottle and coated the whole leg. He licked it of course so he had it both internal and external. We just kept applying it every few hours.

He was fine in just a few days and eating and gaining back his weight and fur he lost.

Today he is his usual self but now back indoors for good. He has two rat terrors to play with and torment by flicking his tail.

I use colloidal silver everyday. It helps with the hep c. And it works with MRSA too. However you won't find many Dr's that agree ....my last dr called it snake oil. My new dr is waiting for my blood tests to see if the viral count is going down. Having a doctor you can relate too helps.

[CARDINALRULES]

We get 30ppm colloidal silver for about $30 for an 8oz bottle at the health food store.

Can find online and some people even make their own for which directions can also can be found online.

The higher the ppm the better.

One of the vitamin companies had a buy 2 get 4 free sale and we were thinking of getting some but then I saw that it had a low ppm count.The lower ppm's would probably make a good mouth wash or for more frequent uses, just as long as you get a good deal on it.

Silver is becoming popular again, there are products like bandaids, toothbrushes and even a washing machine that uses silver.

The only thing to remember is DON'T abuse it by going overboard and using more than needed as your skin can turn a blue/silver color if it builds up.

I use it in many ways- I sometimes take a few teaspoons when I feel I'm getting sick, use as a nasal spray, as a mouth wash when I had an abscess and on my cysts and boils that I am prone to having pop up.

That reminds me of someone I know that uses WD-40 for a skin rash.

You said -- "I had the CHILLS like you wouldn't believe. I felt like I was DRUNK. I couldn't take my daughter to school - I was that off balance. My head felt like someone beat it all night. It was awful."

Ahhh..., so it got into the inner ear, or affected it in some way. I'm glad it cleared up. It sounds like scary stuff -- but -- I really don't see what people can do about it, in the way of prevention. It appears that it's everywhere, with a bunch of people just carrying it around (not affecting them).

Talking about being awful, the most awful I've been was when i got the Norwalk virus last summer (three of us in the family did, within hours of each other). It happened after a trip to the fair. I've never been that sick before. That was real wicked stuff. But, at least it wasn't life threatening (although it felt like it).

There's a lot of nasty stuff out there. And our medicines are struggling, these days, with all of it. We're going to be back in the dark ages, pretty soon, with our medicines.

I have a list of thing WD-40 works on. It amazed me. From using it on bait to attract fish to all kinds of things. I sent you the list. ~~Pandora~~

Colored bath towels are attractive, but I now use white towels and washcloths. I can wash them in hot water and/or bleach.

I began using white when I realized that the anti-acne wash that my kids were using was discoloring and bleaching my colored towels anyway.
