Hi Bill, Thank you for the information about MRSA. I had thought what wheelchair said was the only way you could get. I guess they don't test you unless they see some kind of signs of it on your skin? Dana In a message dated 4/2/2008 6:54:20 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
It's important to remember that you do not have to be in a hospital or nursing home to get MRSA. You can get it simply because you've had staph infections often enough (and been treated with antibiotics as often) that your body has built up a tolerance/resistance to many of the antibiotics.
