MRSA Suxx0rz
April 2, 2008
For those of you that don’t know what MRSA is (a particularly virulent form of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus infection), go here: Mayo Clinic on MRSA.
I’m not going to go into details, but my life was pretty much on hold as a couple of close family members came down with MRSA – one requiring hospitalization through most of last week. It was kinda close for a while, but they’re both recovering nicely now and doing much better. Modern medicine gets teh win.
Unfortunately, I think it’s going to be a while before I stop having paranoid freak-outs if I even suspect my 6-month old is getting a small pimple or blemish.
