Yes brother, I did......and it's enough to scare the pants off you. But you know, we are living in the last days, the bible foretold all these things. The account at Luke 21:11 says:"and there will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another PESTILENCES and food shortages and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs."

There is a lot of staph that is going around and not just in schools. Any place where people are crowded such as locker rooms, prisons, hospitals etc and that there are open cuts or scratches, the germ can get in. People need to make sure that they disinfect and keep clean any open wound or sore (no matter how small) and institutions need to make sure that they keep the premises clean. As with may germs, staph has mutated over the years to become resistant to some antibiotics.

I have recently been in Hospital for tests, One kept things very clean,sanitary, and did minimal invasions for IV and blood tests and covered every puncture. The other hospital was much more lax and the staff was mostly concerned of having an IV site ready if something should happen, great big difference, I found in caring for the patient. Or caring for themselves and possible law suits. The importance of taking care of a MRSA infection ASAP will save a life, if taken seriously. There is a group of Antibiotics that is effective. See your Physician even if you just suspect you may have MRSA

I had not heard about this particular school district, but I certainly had heard about the superbug. One more added to the list of pestilence occurring in the last days. How many people die of AIDS every year? And yet this superbug could kill more!

Yes, and some of them are an hour from me. Do we hear the footsteps of the Great Tribulation?

This could turn out to be a very serious epidemic.
