I transport people from hospitals to nursing homes all the time and the wound has got to be totally wrapped because if you come into contact with any fluid from it is is extremely contageous and all precaustion's should be taken....now if they have air-borne MRSA masks have to be worn by anyone who comes into contact with the patient, including the patient...at least that is our policy...sounds like you got them off to good starte warn them of the potential die-off from cs though...your a good friend.....debbie -------------- Original message -------------- From: Max Sanders <[email protected]>
I just received a report from some good friends that they have been suffering with MRSA. First the mom got it - thought it was a spider bite, then the older child then the younger child and now dad. I asked if it was actually diagnosed, and they say it was. They only just now called me because the dad does not have insurance. I wish they had called me sooner. I gave them what I had on hand that I make - approx 1/2 gal - and a tube of Tetrasil. I told them to drink 2 oz every 2 - 4 hours with gatorade. How does that sound for dosing? At that rate they will go through what I gave them fast. So what is up with MRSA? I never heard of it being passed to each family member like that, though I know it is found in many places and not so uncommon in hospitals and nursing homes. Does anyone have direct or more scientific knowledge? I am curious and cautious. We have a new baby in the house and wonder how infectious it really is - plus I would like to assist my stressed friends. Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail Beta.
