I just wanted to throw some information out there to everyone interested about MRSA since I had the infection 3 times at the age 22 and currently on my 4th time having it. When they say everyone mistakes MRSA as a spider bite, there right. When I first had MRSA I thought it was a spider bite, but then the pain increased and drainage started to happen. I was scared as hell!!! So I then went to the ER and they did a culture on me which hurt like no tomorrow because they actually had to squeeze out drainage from the wound. IT HURTS!!! So they then put me on an antibiotic called "Bactrim". It wasn’t working because I believe Bactrim is resistant to MRSA. I can’t remember to clearly. So again I went to the ER because of the pain. They finally told me to see a surgeon and have it cut out, because the infection was not going away. Now this all happened in 3 months. Today, yet again I am infected with MRSA. I am on antibiotics and waiting to see what happens. It is soooo frustrating because I have no idea why I am infected again with this. I shower 2 times a day because I work in a Doctors office, I am a very clean person, and I just don’t get why this is happening again. I was told it doesn’t matter how clean you are, you will still get infected. If you have any opened wounds such as, cuts, scratches, or anything of the sort, you can get infected. This is how MRSA enters your body. Scary, I know! If anyone has any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. I know just about everything when it comes to MRSA because I had it several times. Have a great day =)
