Have staph infections in two places, one on my stomach and one on my right elbow... This is NOT fun...

does not sound like fun. do you know how you got the infections?

Ya just had to go there, huh, grandpa....just had to.

bummer

Hope it's not MSRA.

That would be MRSA. I hope it's not MRSA too. I have met folks who are being treated with radiation for it, as a last resort.

I wonder if maggot therapy would work.

I'm surprised you did not advise to just have it aborted.

Excuse me, Did I say something wrong?

Maggots are used in in soft tissues that won't heal, and started being used when antibiotics promoted the occurrence of resistant bacteria. Available in the US by prescription only.

Well I am sorry sir, I apologize sincerely. I assumed it was some angry remark to my post but I see it is an actual medical therapy. Funny how we get preconceived ideas about each others comments or maybe it's sad rather than funny. Not sure which. Either way I apologize.

hope you get better

maggots only eat the dead flesh and will clean out a wound better and cleaner that humans can.

I, too, hope it is not MRSA. A friend's mother was infected with MRSA when she received a pacemaker. Of course with it infecting the heart tissue there was no hope.

Maggots are used and it is a bonafide procedure for cleaning out infected tissue in certain areas. I just don't think I could handle letting the varmits feed off my tissue. *shudder*

still don't know what the hell I said that was wrong, redfin
I googled staff infections and mrsa
Redfin, nothing I said was offensive.
So what is your implication about not going there?

Grandpa: redfins comment was made in a perverted and jestful manner

Wendi: Hope you get better soon

Maggots are our friends....

TFP

Whatever, doesnt really matter one way or the other

Get well soon, Miss Independent.

We used to use maggots when we de-horned our steers. We would sear the flesh and turn them loose for the flies to get to them. In about a week we would pour hydrogen peroxide all over it and voilla....clean as a whistle.

its Ok grandpa..it was the perverted part you didn't get,
but for SOME reason ,most of the rest of us did..

Wrong treatment for MRSA although it could work at debridement of the wound ... if the bacteria stopped eating.

This (http://www.the-thieves-oil.com/) might be a better alternative therapy!


Right now the treatment is generally treatment with the antibiotic Vancomycin.

45% of the general population are carriers for the Methicillin Resistant strain of Staphlococcus Aureus (MRSA). It becomes opportunistic if the body's defenses get weakened somehow. It is getting more virulent though as are most bacterias with societal misuse of antibiotics.

Evolution in action.

Get well soon Miss I.

It matters to me. Dang it, I am just as thoroughly perverted as anyone else on the OT and I did not get it either.
