Swine vs. MRSA

Swine Flu. Swine Flu. Swine Flu. Pandemic. Its out of control. A guy on my bus this AM had a mask on. I was afraid to cough b/c I didn't want people thinking I had the swine flu.

Well, I was watching Oprah tonight and Dr. Oz was talking about the super bug & MRSA. Do you know if you get MRSA, you will pretty much be dead in 10 days.

MRSA infection is caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria — often called "staph." MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It's a strain of staph that's resistant to the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat it. MRSA can be fatal.

Wash your hands. A million times per day. This will help you fight the regular flu, swine, MRSA, etc.
