I don't know to what extent discontinued use of antibacterial products will slow the development of resistant strains unless a greater movement to get them out of popular use was started. I DO think that limiting use on an individual basis keeps each of us more resistant to infection from these strains by allowing our bodies to defend themselves.

I think your story is important, and I'm glad that we bloggers have a voice to talk about things like this. It's definitely made me more aware. I constantly get cuts on my hands in the winter from dry skin, so I'll be sure to follow your advice and cover them well. PS The doctor sounds like a jerk! Thanks for posting this.

It is becoming an all too common complication after surgery. Excellent, clear explanation of MRSA. It is becoming an all too common complication after surgery.

I am sorry that you had to go through that. Staph can be a scary thing and is not to be messed with that is why I always say that one should see a doctor when they suspect an infections. I hope you are better now. Wow. I am sorry that you had to go through that.

I was hospitalized for 11 days for a staph infection caused by mastitis and had to have three pockets of infection surgically drained. It sucked, but luckily while it was a penicillin resistant form of staph it was not MRSA. Scary, I’m sorry you had to go through that!

I know bloggers in other states and countries that have been affected by MRSA as well, so I just wanted to share some advice. Thank you so much. Yes, my point is not to raise panic, just awareness.
