Is staph infection and MRSA the same thing?
Yes and no. MRSA is a specific type of staph infection - MRSA is an acronym for Methicillin resisant Staphylococcus aureas. It denotes that the specific Staph organism has developed resistance to an antibiotic which is commonly used to treat skin and soft tissue infections. Because of this resistance, MRSA infections are harder to treat. For some reason, MRSA organisms are also frequently more virulent, meaning they cause worse infections. Currently, there are two different types of MRSA, hospital acquired and community acquired. These are denoted as HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA. HA-MRSA are more frequently the more virulent variety and are resistant to more antibiotics, while the CA-MRSA organisms are easier to treat and usually cause only boils and folliculitides, rather than systemic infections and pneumonias, like the HA-MRSA. MSSA, methicillin sensitive Staph aureas, is still the most common form of staph infection in most parts of the U.S. and can be treated pretty easily with many different types of antibiotics.

Why are base burns worse than acid burns?
Acids dehydrate organic tissue (your skin) or only slightly damage your top layer of the skin. Strongly alkaline bases like sodium hydroxide actually reacts with your skin and lipids and dissolves them. This is why you can end up with some base burns that can be even worse than sulfuric acid burns.
Why does a medical patch allow medicine to dissolve into the bloodstream faster than a pill that is swallowed?
Oral medications have to go through the liver for a first pass...before they hit the bloodstream. Patches' medications are absorbed directly through the skin so they bypass the liver.
