Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)

Most medical conditions that you've been diagnosed with prior to applying for the insurance will be considered pre-existing. If you've been seeing a psychiatrist before or during the application process, it will be considered pre-existing.

It depends on what variables you are considering: host surfaces (skin, nose, wound) or non-host surfaces (bandages, clothing, bed linens, other common contact objects such as door knobs, light switches, commodes, tub, phones, etc.) In a host surface a person can be a carrier of MRSA (colonized) and not even be aware, therefore spreading contimination quite unwittingly. Unfortunately, a carrier can host MRSA indefinately. MRSA can live on non-host surfaces for days, weeks, months depending on the environmental circumstances. These circumstances can include what other interactions the MRSA may be in contact with such as other bacteria in which that it may compete against / with thus killing MRSA or cultivating / transfering the bacteria. Most studies suggest / show that MRSA can live up to 90 days / 3 months. Thusly, this becomes a never-ending battle. What HAS been subjected may be unnoticed until days or weeks later thus cycling back the bacteria into a sterile field. Suggestions: research all of the mechanisms to rid the body, the home, the hospital etc. of MRSA, start the regiment of cleaning / sterilizing, and never stop until one has two "clean" MRSA swabs. Even then you are not gauranteed that MRSA won't return.

yes if you let mrsa go for to long it will get in your bones and joints and spread throughout the body until proper antibiotics are given

The is no study nor is there any empirical evidence that I have ever heard of or seen that implies honey has therapeutic properties against MRSA.

While there is some evidence that honey may have antiseptic properties, this would -- if true -- provide protection at the surface; not once the infection has set in. For this purpose we use soaps, alcohol, and other antiseptics available to us (but not to bees) that outperform honey.

Im not sure if this is a man asking this question or not but I had a step dad that took steroids.... It cause him to be BI polar and he couldn't sleep so he had to take ambian! So if you really wanna F&^* your life up pop those pills, or take that shot ;)

Reasonably high, which is why you want to get out of the hospital as soon as you safely and comfortably can. Surgical patients are far more susceptible than Medical patients. Bear in mind that MRSA is treatable -- it just requires different planning and treatment. Exact statistics on this are hard to come by, but I've heard as many as 30% (which I think is WAY high and very unlikely) may experience post-surgical MRSA. Don't worry -- it's treatable.

MRSA or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium responsible for difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It is said to be highly contagious. Although it is not justified by scientific research but it is said that it can be transmitted by a mosquito bite.

Yes you sure can. You can even get it simply by touching the skin of someone who is infected with it. However, it is generally not a threat to anyone who is healthy. It is only people with a compromised immune system who are normally at risk. If you get bitten, treat the bite with hydrogen peroxide and keep it clean and bandaged.

Almost 30% of people carry MRSA around in their noses and don't even no it.

If you are immune compromised, you should see your doctor as he may want you on antibiotics.

Herpes doees not start with muscle soreness! It starts when the lymphnods in your pelvic area swell, you itch like crazy down stairs, you have diaper rash symptoms and a whitesh discharge. This could occur for several days before the actual sores break through the skin. THEY DO NOT CRUST OVER AND FALL OFF! That's genital warts! LOL! this procss can take up to a month to fully get over. It all depends on the severness of the situation. Remeber if you experience these things and are not sure talk to your doctor. Also, DO NOT SOAK IN A BATH, OR SHAVE YOUR REGIONAL AREAS! These things only make the infected area worse, and cause the lesions and sores to spread. Using a cool rag to sooth the area is what is rcommended.

Students can prevent the further spread of the disease by practicing good hygiene, maintaining a clean environment, covering wounds and properly disposing of used bandages. They should also avoid contact with the infected skin of others, not share food, drinks or personal care items, or visit public bathing facilities, such as saunas, hot tubs and swimming pools.

MRSA is an abbreviation for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. There is no particular time when it is contagious. It is spread like any bacteria through coughs, touching infected items, and more.

The vast majority of patients with MRSA have simple, easily curable, non-lethal skin infections.

Answer is YES. MRSA is transmitted by physical contact with persons who are infected or carry MRSA germ. It would be best to get not in touch with lady who has MRSA. Sharing towels, locker rooms or other can also result with getting of this potentially very serious infection.

The Centers for Disease Control warns that MRSA infections can result in anything from mild illness to death, particularly if the pathogen gets into the bloodstream by infecting a cut, burn or laceration. Fortunately, four recent medical studies have demonstrated that an inexpensive and completely natural substance called colloidal silver literally decimates MRSA infections. You can read a very interesting report that summarizes all four studies at http://www.ColloidalSilverCuresMRSA.com

Hospitals use a lot of antibiotics to treat infections. As a result of natural selection, some of the Why_is_MRSA_causing_problems_in_many_hospitalsin hospitals are resistant to many antibiotics. This is what has happened with MRSA. As doctors and nurses move from patient to patient, these antibiotic-resistant bacteria are spread easily. MRSA now contributes to around 1000 deaths every year in UK hospitals.

The designation hospital or community MRSA simply means where the person was infected. Basically, a person is infected either a) in the hospital or b) anywhere else but the hospital.

No. MRSA is resistant to Amoxicillin.

Because MRSA is an active bacterial infection, you should not donate plasma for as long as you have an active infection of MRSA. There are a number of MRSA plasma donation studies available where you can be paid $200+ per donation to help researchers develop new diagnostic tools, treatments, and cures. Several such options are below:

No. To be infected, first the virus needs to find a body cell to invade and take over. Body cells do not exist in lip balm.

BUT, there could viruses on the surface of the stick that could transfer to your mouth and THEN infect you.

we leave for a cruise in like 9 days, my son has recently contracted MRSA, was wondering if we will still be ok to go or if they will even allow it on the boat. he has been on antibiotics for 10 days

MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection can be very serious because the bacterium has the ability to adapt to most antibiotics. But, MRSA infection is treatable. After diagnosis process have finished, doctor will know what types of antibiotics are best to fight against MRSA. Answer on your question is No.
