HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD OF MRSA. IT IS A VERY BAD STAFF INFECTION. METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS. IT IS A DEAL AND IT IS KILLING PEOPLE. IT STARTS OUT LIKE A BOIL OR EVEN A PIMPLE. THEN GETS VERY LARGE VERY FAST. IT GETS IN YOUR BLOOD STREAM. MY FATHER IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND HAVING SURGERY IN THE MORNING FOR IT. AS A NURSE I HAVE SEEN ABOUT 10 PATIENTS THIS MONTH ALONE WITH IT. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE THIS GO TO THE DOCTOR ASAP.

I am not sure but I think one can be healed from hepatits C and get reinfected, due to the different genotipes of HCV and the lack of lifelong immunity. Hepatitis A normally gives long-time immunity but does it really give LIFE-LONG immunity? Can someone have hepatitis A two times??? As for hepatitis B, I have no idea. Please answer, it is an emergency! Thanx.

Any progress on vaccine? Any human to human transmission? Is that still seen as inevitable? How is the gvt. doing stockpiling Tamiflu, and does it work? If you survive a bout with Bird Flu, are you immune if it comes around again? Any information welcome, thanks!

I work in a school and understand that I will be susceptible to germs which will cause these symptoms, but I have not been working for a month and am still feeling ill off and on. Doctor says " sounds like you have a virus." I can't possibly have a virus that often.
