The killer staph virus has reached my town.. My moms boyfriend got it last week and is about to die..

ok theres a lot of misinformation in this thread. so heres the wiki page, read the first paragraph.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methicillin-resistant_Staphylococcus_aureus

long story short, this bug has been around for a long time. it generally lives in hospitals or other centres of really sick people, like nursing homes. infection of young healthy peopel is quite common - its jsut that young helathy peopel have awesome immune systems that kill it, along with 378438963742 other bugs that assault your body everyday.

more and more peopel will die fromt his bug because 1) its getting more common and 2) people are getting older - so there are more people with shit immune systems around the place who will fall victim to this otherwise simple bacterium.

to control its spread all the community really needs to do is have good hygiene, and to reduce the number of situations where people are going to easily infect one another - which means more isolation of infected people, and more care to wash hands etc particularly in hospital/community settings.

those people worried about getting it at the gym need to chill out. inform your gym owner and get the equipment sterilized several times a day (there are many sprays that will do this, most of which are cheap, not this $15 a pop bullshit) including dumbbells, and insistence that people use towels etc

then so long as you eat and leep right and have an immune system that doesnt suck, youre fine.

also, the fastest growing disease in the world killing people is, as always...stupidity.

bye

well this 15 dollar a pop bullshit was stuff i had not a spray its a creme i found at the pharmacy

Sprays with antibacterial effects? Isn't that part of the problem?

oh absolutely not. They should lysol the equipment after every use, and on any free times and lunch breaks!
Lol
Yes, after a while the body will be so prone to no germs that it will break down and not know how to protect against such things.Picture putting a 4 year old on a bike with no training wheels after never riding a bike before Same result!

yeah thats just how the human organism is. some people that shouldnt get it, do. its the price we pay for living in massive communities where pockets of disease thrive, and also, for using antibiotics indiscriminately. but then, you have to, to keep old people alive.

Sprays with antibacterial effects? Isn't that part of the problem?

look its like this. humans have immune systems that need exercise. you NEED exposure to some bugs everyday so that your immune system stays fit. most bugs are harmless little shits of no consequence, but your immune system will kill them and flex its muscles anyway. this is good. only a very very veyr small percentage of bugs out there can harm you.

the drama is when peopel use so many antibacterials that they dont get exposed to enough bugs, and so their immune systems dont get enough exercise, and get fat and lazy like the CnC board. then a truly dangerous bug comes along and BAM - big drama.

what needs to happen is that everyone needs exposure to harmless bugs around the home, in the garden etc, but at the same time, to use lots of disinfectants in settings where dangerous bugs hang out - like hospitals and nursing homes. in the case of schools, use disinfectants on such things as water bubblers, but for the most part, simple hand washing is the right thing to do because kids tend to get sick then wipe their snotty noses/spit all over their hands then touch each other

This is the end

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

i love jim.

Pharmacists are still brainwashed by the pharmaceutical co's, but you do know more than most dr's.
