MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. They say about a third of the population carries this bacteria on their skin or in their nasal passages.
If you develop an infection and the doctor suspects MRSA, they should take a culture to see what antibiotics your particular strain will be most susceptible to. This will ensure proper treatment and eradication of the infection.
MRSA infections are serious, they need to be treated aggressively. There is no over the counter product that will take care of this infection for you. If you suspect MRSA do not try to treat this on your own with Silver, please consult a doctor.

i really don't know much about it.
a nurse in the er one time told me she was more afraid of mrsa than aids or any other thing.

Many people have mrsa. we come in contact with it often. I know a number of people who have had it. I know older people who died from it. some it goes into a remission. there are people on this site who have mrsa and lyme.
