Dr: "So how are you this week? Any new panic attacks?"
Me: "I had one a few nights ago. I was convinced I had MRSA growing in my nose."
Dr: "MRSA? Why... Where did you even hear about that?"
Me: "I read things."
Pause.
Me: "Ok, one of the designers had it on Project Runway last year."
Dr: puts his forehead in his hand. "I just don't even know where to start with that one."

MRSA is nothing to sneeze at. It can KILL you. According to the Mayo Clinic - Staph skin infections, including MRSA, generally start as small red bumps that resemble pimples, boils or spider bites. These can quickly turn into deep, painful abscesses that require surgical draining. Sometimes the bacteria remain confined to the skin. But they can also penetrate into the body, causing potentially life-threatening infections in bones, joints, surgical wounds, the bloodstream, heart valves and lungs.
Good luck.
I know someone with MRSA. It is nasty!! The first boil she had looked like a huge spider bite on her side. It was huge and nasty with a bluish-purple spot in the middle. Her doctor told her that she wasn't contagious unless the boil popped open. I prayed the whole time that it wouldn't burst. It definitely looks as nasty as it sounds!!
Ok, you guys seriously don't help.
