Native Americans???? They mention NAs and don't say WHY they're included in this group. Odd.

I would suspect it's because NA's typically have little body hair (from all the John Wayne movies I've seen). But I still don't get the connection.

This is not a Homosexual disease as the title indicates, although they are probably more susceptible because of their sexual habits.

This study (which I cannot find on line) is the basis for the Native American risk factor:

Groos A, Naimi T, Wolset D, Smith-Johnson K, Moore K, Cheek J. Emergence of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a rural American Indian community (Abstract 1230), 39th Annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, San Francisco, CA, 1999.

They may not know why. Sweat lodge maybe?
