Is staph an air borne disease that lives on your bodies?
Staph, or Staphylococcus, is a family of bacteria that is very virulent, contagious, and even possibly infectious. What makes staph so dangerous is that it is very resistant to antibiotics. Though staph is not generally considered an air-borne disease, there is some debate that MRSA, thought it usually is spread through contact with open sores, can remain viable on dry counters for several hours, that it may be spread by close proximity to someone that is infected by breathing the same air. More research needs to be done to determine the avenues of transmission to be sure if it can be spread through the air.

Does cephalexin cure trichomoniasis?
I get frequent staph infections. I got my first in Korea 3 years ago and then my most recent around Christmas when I got a tattoo. I was shaving my pelvic area and noticed i shaved over and irritated a small hard lump. This lump then grew to be a volcanic looking blister and after a day it turned into a bunch of small blisters. my lymph nodes were swollen and i began running a fever. This was unlike any staph infection I've had in the past. I began researching and I think I fell victim to herpes. Just in case though I had some leftover Cephalexin from my last staph outbreak. I began taking it and the next day my fever went away, the redness and swelling of my lymph nodes subsided and the blisters began to shrink. I'm not sure that I have herpes or a staph infection. My last outbreak was cultured as staph but I haven't gone to the doctors for this because it seems to be going away with the antibiotics. I'd say it's worth a try if you can get your hands on some.Cephalexin is more used for infections caused by bacteria. Herpes is caused by a virus so that won't do much for herpes break outs. For herpes you would need some thing that has antiviral medication.
