MY HUSBAND JUST DIED OF MRSA RECENTLY. The doctors tried everything, even 30 days of IV Highpower antibiotics but could not kill it. It killed him. It is REAL and it is a REAL THREAT. And, you can pick it up anywhere you get such intimate contact and transfer of contagion and germs, like you do in their shoe circus.
My Condolences to you on the loss of your husband. I know no amount of words came ever ever make up for the loss of a loved one.
OOTPYLTH - So has the smug PESG come off your face yet after that post, because it should have? Its Ainitfunnys loss highlights why sanitation at the CP should be a higher priority unless TSA wants to pay for CP acquired infections. I have good reasons to be concerned for my own health and how unclean CP could effect it. Do you have any idea what a 14-30+ day ICU admission, procedures, labs and medications costs?
Furthermore are you one of those TSA types that goes to meet troops coming back from the sandbox???? well then you might want to rethink that based on some of the research that is coming out from USAMRIID is suggesting that we have brought another strain of superbug back from there that cant be treated with any antibiotics or immunotherapies currently around / experimental or in development. I bet that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
Now that my blood is boiling, i need a drink to lower my BP and so i dont really say whats on my mind.
