Staph skin infections, including MRSA, generally start as small red bumps that resemble pimples, boils or spider bites. These can quickly turn into deep, painful abscesses that require surgical draining. Sometimes the bacteria remain confined to the skin. But they can also penetrate into the body, causing potentially life-threatening infections in bones, joints, surgical wounds, the bloodstream, heart valves and lungs.

If you meant MRSA then the only way to find out is by a blood culture, but these infections can spread rapidly and if you suspect you have MRSA, see a doctor.

Can mersa get into your lungs?

"mersa" is actually - MRSA, or Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureous, a staph bacteria that is drug resistant. While Staph is typically a skin bacteria, it can take up residence and thrive (causing an infection) in other areas of your body, including your lungs.
