MRSA.

Wow, that's terrible. I never heard of getting it from a garden.

People usually get it from hospitals. I hate when hospital workers wear their scrubs around.

How did they stop it.

I caught MRSA in my right thumb harvesting Bluebonnet seeds in my yard. They took the pad of my thumb off almost to the bone. I had to give myself IV antibiotics through a catheter that they inserted in a vein (artery?) in my left arm for about six months. The monthly supply of the drugs came in a box the size of a case of paper. The doctor says I was very lucky because it stopped at the first knuckle.

I knew a kid about twenty years ago that swam in a stock tank and got an amoeba and died about twelve hours later. Evidently there’s a area in your sinuses or nasal cavity where there is only a layer of skin covering your brain.

My doc told me that these amoeba and the MRSA bugs are everywhere.

Yes, it’s usually in hospitals. All these superbugs came to be because of overuse of antibiotics. Even ordinary penicillin doesn’t kill strep throat anymore.
