Yikes get those wipes out asap! (-: I have heard this is everywhere so if you are going to get it then you are going to get it. We have had a few cases that I know of at our school. Its nasty but doesn’t mean you are going to die.(-: The main thing is get to the doctor if you see a sign of infection. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water and keep all open sores covered and clean. This would be especially true anywhere you go. I would think the grocery store would be just as bad as schools are. (-: OMGosh there’s no safe place to go anymore….lol Better stay home and surf the internet!!!(-:

As usual TV News has screamed this into the stratosphere, but there are scads of things more likely to kill you (as the theme song says – It’s dangerous out there).

What makes the MRSA outbreaks a little more unusual is that it used to be confined to hospitals, sanitoriums and such while now it seems to have passed to the general population. As long as you cover all open sores, all should be well and sensible precautions enough.

Okay, here I fly in and talk about the fact that most of us are carrying MRSA already. It’s like any other bug, it may cause an infection or it may not. I believe that my son had it 2 years ago, no big whoop, antibiotics does clear it up. The problem is that it’s not the regular antibiotic that could be used. Staph Aureus infections are common, think pimples, boils and sebacious cysts.

There is an overuse of the antibiotic wipes, soap and water is much better. I can see antibiotic cleansers in doctor waiting rooms and hospitals, but libraries….I just think people are over reacting.

Ow! I feel the pain…that must hurt! I hate to say it..but I’m one of those people with bottles’ of anti-biotic soaps everywhere and Purell in purse and bookbags! With grandson’s immune system so low I can’t take chances…so I’m constantly reminding them to wash..why do kids have to put their fingers into the weirdest places on their faces?

A big OUCH – boy, I could just feel the pain with the fingernail! Is there anything that just hurts and hurts worse -other than maybe a toothache or earache -and that you really can’t do all that much to stop the pains there cause you have to keep using your hand.
The MRSA thing – been a few outbreaks in our area -some fairly close to our school but so, none there that I am aware of. The overuse/abuse of antibiotics is one thing that can create problems like this where a new strain of an infection type will be resistant to the regular antibiotics is very trut. Using good hygiene to at least wash your hands well with plain soap and water too though will be at least some what of a deterrent.
