Jason Eaton, a long-time list member, has posted a great deal about
this and has priceless information on his web site. Perhaps he'll add
more.

This is an old message that I had saved. In light of the huge number of
people contacting MRSA these days it seems important that we have
items on
hand that can be administered quickly in addition to CS.

Scientists have discovered a new and highly effective weapon against
deadly superbugs like the MRSA sweeping through Britain's dirty
hospital
wards – green French muck. The dramatic antibiotic success of
agricur, a
clay made from ancient volcanic ash found near the Massif Central,
marks
it out as a potential rival to penicillin, the wonder drug of the 20th
century. In experiments, the clay killed up to 99 per cent of superbug
colonies within 24 hours. Control samples of MRSA (methicillin-
resistant Staphylococcus aureus) grew 45-fold in the same period. The
clay has a similar effect on other deadly bacteria tested, including
salmonella, E. coli, and a flesh-eating disease called buruli, a
relative of leprosy which disfigures children across central and
western
Africa. It has been classed as "an emerging public health threat" by
the
World Health Organization (WHO).
