Answer 2

Keep alert.....keep up your hygiene..Don't let your guard down..Be especially careful not to share towels at a gymnasium , a sip from any ones cup or glass. Also make sure you use dis infect ant handy wipes every time you use a grocery cart, a gas pump handle to fill your car, and door handles... This will help..and if you walk into a room with people coughing like a doctors office keep closest to the door where the fresh air comes in or outside until the appointment time..Let the desk know you are right outside the door.....i got the flu sitting in a doctors office for a regular check up..it ignited pneumonia in my lungs...It was all due to a doctors office physical....There's a lot of airborne stuff out there too like the doctors office air,sitting in a church building full of people but thats another story...Good luck....

About MRSA...

The best defence is education, staph and MRSA are potentially lethal. This bacterium has the ability to overcome all and any of the antibiotics on todays market.

MRSA - Antibiotic-Resistant “Staphylococcus aureus” Skin Infections

A huge number of people are being diagnosed with MRSA (skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus - staph bacteria) that are resistant to many known and previously used antibiotics (the drugs that kill bacteria). These resistant strains of staph are commonly known as “MRSA” (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus).

Staph bacteria are most often found in the nasal passages and on the skin of people. Most of the time, staph carried in the nose or on the skin does not cause infection. When it does, it usually causes minor infections, such as boils or abscesses. However, sometimes staph can cause more serious infections such as pneumonia, joint, and bloodstream infections. These are serious infections and require immediate treatment.

Staph infections often begin when staph bacteria enter the body through an injury to the skin, such as a cut or graze or surgical proceedure. Symptoms of a staph skin infection include redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness of the skin and boils or blisters.

The Spread Of Staph

Even the cleanest person can get a staph infection. Staph can rub off the skin of an infected person and onto the skin of another person when they have prolonged skin to skin contact. Staph from an infected person can also get onto a commonly shared item or surface and then get onto the skin of the person who touches it next. Examples of commonly shared items are towels, benches in saunas or hot tubs and athletic equipment - in other words, anything that could have touched the skin of a staph infected person can carry the bacteria to the skin of another person.

Preventing Staph Infections

Clean your hands and skin often. Spray with The New Silver Solution. Avoid prolonged skin-to-skin contact with anyone you suspect could have a staph skin infection. Do not share personal items (e.g. razors, towels, etc.) with other persons and keep your towels and clothes clean. Clean items that you share with other people (e.g. towels, razors, athletic equipment) before you use them.

Actions To Take If You Think You Have A Staph Infection

If you suspect that you might have a staph skin infection, consult your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Early treatment can help prevent the infection from getting worse. Be sure to follow all the directions your healthcare provider gives you, even when you start to feel better. If you are prescribed antibiotics, finish all of the doses because incomplete treatment of staph infections can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The New Silver Solution can be taken with antibiotics, in fact, tests have proven that using The New Silver Solution in conjunction with antibiotics enables deeper and more penetrative ability in killing staph bacteria.

If my healthcare provider has told me that I have an antibiotic-resistant staph (MRSA) skin infection, what can I do to keep others from getting infected?

Please take the following steps to prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant staph skin infection to others:

1. Treat area with The New Silver Solution. Keep the infected area covered with clean, dry bandages. Pus, Mucus and drainage from an infected wound is very infectious.

2. Thoroughly wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water, especially after changing bandages or touching the infected skin. Throw away used dressings promptly and spray your hands with The New Silver Solution.

3. Regularly clean and disinfect your bathroom and personal items. Wash soiled towels, bedding and clothes with hot water. Bleach when possible. Drying bedding and clothes in a hot-air dryer, rather than air-drying also helps kill bacteria. Wipe down surfaces with The New Silver Solution.

4. Inform any healthcare providers who treat you, that you have a history of an antibiotic-resistant staph (MRSA) skin infection and that you are using The New Silver Solution to fight the infection.

5. Ensure that you take The New Silver Solution internally, on a daily basis.

6. Do not share razors, towels or similar items with other people.

If you have questions about MRSA, please talk with your health care provider. Most Doctors and especially Surgeons, will recommend the use of The New Silver Solution.

I think that the news is making MRSA seem worse than it is. You have to have a pretty bad immune system to get killed from it anyway.
