What is the meaning of MRSA carrier?
MRSA is also known as the super bug. The meaning of an MRSA carrier is someone who either has the MRSA infection or someone who carries the bacteria but doesn't show any signs of illness yet they can still pass it onto others.
Will someone sleep for days and wake up if you have MRSA?
sure
If you have MRSA in your leg can you give it to someone by sleeping with them?
yes you can this is why people admit to a healthcare facuity is put on isolation because mrsa is VERY contagious
Can MRSA staph live in water?
No it cannot live in water. However, MRSA can be spread via surfaces such as a shower wall or handle or a swimming pool hand rail. It is usually spread via contact with a surface that has it on it or by touching a sore of an individual that is contaminated. Jump in the pool, lake etc etc, the water is safe in terms of no MRSA in the water itself. There is also a respiratory version so if someone sneezes on you.......
Will bleach water kill MRSA?
ask someone who cares
If you have MRSA should you be visiting someone in hospital being treated with chemo for aml?
No, their immune system is so low it wont fight the MRSA, stay away!
How can someone get MRSA from a person who was treated and cured?
While the disease caused by MRSA may have been cured, it doesn't mean that the person doesn't carry any MRSA germs on his or her body. Many, many people are colonized with MRSA -- it lives on them without causing disease. "Cure" in the case of a MRSA-related rash or boil means that the skin problem is cured, but not that all MRSA has been eliminated from the person. A related question: how do you know that you're not colonized with MRSA yourself?
What is a lunch bag's function?
To hold one's lunch in a clean safe manner and as a receptacle for the detritus thereafter.
How long are you contagious with mrsa before you show signs?
MRSA (methylcillian resistant staph aureus) is a staph infection that is resistant to most antibiotics. There are many kinds of staph germs. If you have MRSA your infection will not "look" any different than someone with non-MRSA staph. A person can "carry" the MRSA germ without ever actually having the infection. If they have an open wound, the germ can infect it (via touch/contact) and cause the wound to have a hard time healing until super strong antibiotics are used. Once someone has MRSA, they are considered "positive" always. Summary: You can be "contagious" and NEVER show symptoms.
Is it safe for someone with MRSA to handle a baby?
Absolutely. Even a non-hospitalized baby can contract MRSA if s/he comes into contact with a person carrying it. Baby, elderly, child, or adult, we all carry bacteria on our skin and in our body at all times. It only causes a problem when we develop infection. MRSA is no different. Colonization is not a problem, and is probably much more prevalent than we realize. We only hear about the people who develop infections, not the millions carrying the bacteria without any problems.
If someone is cured of MRSA after 5 months in the hospital can it come back and is he still infectious?
Yes it can com back. MRSA will stay with you for your whole life and surface at different times. When MRSA is treated it is usually because it has infected a wound. Once the infection has been treated and the pt is released their med history will contain somethingalong the lines of "history of MRSA" signifying that the MRSA may resurface and warning health care providers to take precautions.
Is What do you eat for lunch grammatically correct?
Yes the question What do you eat for lunch? is grammatically correct.This is something you would ask someone to find out what types of things they usually eat for their lunch.Not to be confused with What did you eat for your lunch?which is a question to find out what someone had at a specific time for their lunch.
