What is MRSA and what is the life expectancy of someone who has been diagnosed with it?
MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus being a genus of bacteria that are often found in the environment, and can cause infection if they enter the body either through a wound, cut, or after being inhaled.Due to over-prescription and misuse of antibiotics many species of Staphylococcus have become resistant to the drug Methicillin which up until recently was the first choice for treating bacterial infections, hence the name MRSA.A MRSA infection is very serious and can lead to a rapid deterioration of a patient’s condition if not detected early and treated promptly. Assuming a patient has not been confirmed with MRSA too late ( that is, before the infection spreads to the blood and begins to attack internal organs) treatment can be administered to fight off the infection.In some cases, such as with burn victims that have a large percentage of skin exposed, the chances of contracting a MRSA infection are much higher, and harder to treat once detected. MRSA infections in the lungs are also quite difficult to control and treat.The specific details of the diagnosis, including the nature of the primary infection, strength of the immune system, and drugs being administered will all determine the chances of a person making a full recovery.
Kissing Someone with MRSA (Mersa) Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus?
MRSA bacterium can normally be associated with the sinuses, auxilla (armpits) and groin areas. These are areas in which the bacterium can colonize and grow. MRSA can also be spread through sexual intercourse. However, when you consider that around 30% of the worlds population already carry Staph.aureus bacterium in their nasal passages and their immune system functions well enough to protect them, any infection that you may have been in danger of catching from your Girlfriend would be totally dependent upon your own immune system and its strength. Antibiotics should never be used to initially treat MRSA infection. Antibiotics are the reason why MRSA exists today. Simply put, antibiotics can cause resistance and a much more vilulent strain to evolve. I have been treating people with serious MRSA infections for over two years with a 100% eradication record. I do not use antibiotics to solve the problem but most of my patients come to me, because the antibiotics have worsened their situation, normally to the point of becoming VRSA or a MDR infection. I always advocate that prevention is better than cure and you do need to start thinking about protecting yourself. You can find all the information that you require at the link address given below.
Can someone still live a long life after they have been treated for MRSA?
An infection with MRSA should have no effect on your life once cleared. Antibiotic treatment is not needed for most cases. Simply draining the abscess is the preferred treatment where possible. The awful experience of Millie Stuchinski and her mate is quite uncommon, but even she has been free of MRSA effects for years. MRSA is not an especially aggressive bacterium; it is simply resistant to many antibiotics. (Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus).

Can MRSA be treated naturally?
I’ve heard about 20% of all cases are fatal and that about 25% of cases are considered aggressive (that was me). Seems you’d have to use antibiotics to stop it.And how would you know you had MRSA anyway unless they tested you? And then why would they release you and not tell you what treatment to take?I don’t believe I would have lived. By the time I got in to see an infectious disease doctor my knee had been hurting for over a week, was feeling pretty run down, and two blisters on my skin as big as my thumbnail had just sprouted. My understanding is that after the bacteria get in, they can incubate for up to two weeks then, via chemical signaling of some sort amongst the cells, they release toxins all at once, overwhelming your system, more or less shutting down your internal organs. (I’ve oversimplified it, I’m sure.) Surgery on my leg made it look like it had been filleted, because they had to scrape out the bacterial goop which had spread from my knee, down to my ankle and almost up to my hip. After megadoses of vancomycin then, later zyvox, clindamycin and others, they assured me I was decolonized, although I supposedly have a 50% greater chance of getting it again.
Can you ever really get rid of mrsa?
