If you have any kind of sense or decency, you'll politely cancel your visit to avoid exposing them. MRSA is not a fucking joke.

I had an in-law that stayed at my house a couple of years ago due to a death in the family and follow-on funeral. He didn't mention that he had MRSA because he didn't want to create any more drama given what was already happening. I just found out recently. There were three other people sharing the guest bathroom with him during this time. This person is very intelligent, but has a Mr Magoo streak at times. Obviously, there weren't any problems, but my nose is a bit out of joint over it now that I know. |

If you have a staph infection and are handling it right, not that big a deal.
If you MRSA you should be on an IV in the hospital. |

I had a long conversation with my doctor about MRSA. I work around IV drug users, tweakers, the lot. Many of whom have MRSA, or have all sorts of different infections. Wash hands, wipe down surfaces regularly, and you're fine. My doctor told me that most people have MRSA actually on their skin, the reason they don't get infected, is that they don't give it a path to infection, and that they wash it away regularly. It's just a staph infection, just one that is resistant to antibiotics. If you're not regularly getting staph infections, you're not going to get a MRSA infection.

I think it is 3-4% of the population has it on their skin at all times. It is very common and not "dangerous" UNLESS it enters the blood stream or a wound. Do you know any RNs, MDs, RTs, PTs or OTs? Chances are, they have MRSA but are perfectly healthy. It can get very dangerous if you have a compromised immune system like the transplant patients on my unit. But for most healthy individuals, it will not be an issue.

But for most healthy individuals, it will not be an issue. My wife was perfectly healthy until an infected hair follicle on the back of her calf turned into something that resembled a brown recluse bite in the space of a few hours. It took IV antibiotics - cubicin, big-guns stuff - to finally knock it out after it failed to respond to both vancomycin and sulfas. She ended up with what looked, for all the world, like a gunshot wound to the back of the leg after they were done draining and debriding it. We got a nice letter from the school district a week or so later letting us know that some cases had been reported in the district, but "not to worry", for basically the same bullet points you stated. So, yes, it can go from not a problem to very fucking serious in nothing flat, even for totally healthy people. |

I'd you have MRSA it means the antibiotics aren't working and you have to get admitted. It's severely life threatening. People sometimes don't know there is a difference. |

The scary shit is VRE. I took care of a patient who was flown out from Abu Dhabi who had a Multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria that was resistant to all antibiotics approved by the FDA. So there was literally nothing that we could do to directly combat it  . So everyone was losing their shit over it so i volunteered to take him because I am on point with preventing cross contamination. I have seen a lot of my coworkers just go into an isolation room without the extra PPE and without standard PPE (gloves) and mess with a patient's foley, NGT/OGT and suction, mess with drains and chest tubes, and im just like NOPE! I will take it and make sure whatever the hell he has does NOT spread to our extremely susceptible transplant population on the floor or our fresh open hearts either.
This is going to sound weird, but I actually really enjoyed it  because it kept me on my toes and kept me thinking at all times. Luckily, our hospital was next in the city's rotation for EBOLA or whatever the next big infectious and highly communicable disease is, so I was recruited to join the Special Contagious Disease Team  . Still haven't been called in though  , but i am eagerly waiting.

I wouldn't sweat it. There are tons of people with MRSA you interact with daily and never know it. Where do you think these people with MRSA shop, eat, go to movies? Practice good hand hygeine, make sure your guest has their own towels, and wash the bedding when they leave. Most normal people do this for their guests MRSA or not. Just curiois, where is the MRSA?

A lot of Americans have Staphylococcus aureus living in there nose. Not many have Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The problem arises when someone who has MRSA living in there nose has an open wound. They can get nasty fast. You know when you got prescribed antibiotics and felt better so you didn't take the whole bottle as directed? That's how MRSA came about. Also has a bit to do with over use of antibiotics in our livestock population, which in turn makes its way into our food. Also the prevalence of antibacterial soaps and wipes. The staph simply evolved. |

This thread is funny.
Doing BJJ there's always somebody with a staph infection at any given time. It happens all the fucking time between our schools. I've gotten it maybe 5 times. Impetigo twice. Buddy had MRSA twice. It doesn't spread like a cold. It's easy to avoid in most scenarios, too. Hell, kids know guys who've trained with a staph infection. Every time somebody got a MRSA infection they invariably got admitted for observation with an IV. Guess the hospital has just been selling muffler bearings. |

I had a long conversation with my doctor about MRSA. I work around IV drug users, tweakers, the lot. Many of whom have MRSA, or have all sorts of different infections. Wash hands, wipe down surfaces regularly, and you're fine. My doctor told me that most people have MRSA actually on their skin, the reason they don't get infected, is that they don't give it a path to infection, and that they wash it away regularly. It's just a staph infection, just one that is resistant to antibiotics. If you're not regularly getting staph infections, you're not going to get a MRSA infection. It lives in your nose. That's why. A lot of Americans have Staphylococcus aureus living in there nose. Not many have Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The problem arises when someone who has MRSA living in there nose has an open wound. They can get nasty fast. Also, one of the reasons you don't pluck nose hairs. |
