You may have a red, swollen bump under your skin. You have been hearing much lately about MRSA which is now under two subsections of types. There is HA-MRSA which is the healthcare related type and then there is CA-MRSA, which is the newer community acquired type that is really becoming alarmingly prevalent.How do you know if you have this skin infection? What are the symptoms of MRSA? The CDC, NIH and even the Mayo Clinic is coming forth with much more information than I could have possibly found at the beginning of the year. My daughter came down with MRSA in January, at which time I found a local medical community that was lackadaisical at best about the sudden onslaught of this in the community.
Read, watch, make yourself aware of what to look for. This is abviously a plague that isn't going to go away quietly. We have created this monster with our rush to the doctor's offices to get an antibiotic when we stub our toe. We wash our hands with antibacterial soap (which only makes our germs learn from that and grow to ignore it).
