It was reported on the local news that this is spreading around Ft. Worth, TX. Now there's one more reason to hate PE in school.

... where the so-called superbug has been showing up in day-care centres ...The ultimate pathogen exchange program, imo. One more reason Mrs. Smokin' Joe elected to be at home with the kids.

Fortunately, the Canadian pharmaceutical industry can now kick into high gear to produce an antibiotic for it..

". . . prison inmates and intravenous drug users is now sweeping across Canada,..."Are these the same guys that got HIV infected blood from Clinton's Arkansas' prison population?
Follow the blood. Start in Arkansas. Unscrupulous clinics sell contaminated blood.

in northern michigan my brother in law got what he thought was a spider bite. Had all the signs of a brown recluse bite although they aren't indiginous to our area....It was nasty. I told him to tell the doctor to check for staph.
he took tons of anti biotics and it barely touched it.
it took alot of time for it to heal. He's better now but I wonder if this is what he had.

Probably so ,, the greater Detroit area is where these superbugs were first noticed decades ago... due to the high VD rates there and the overprescribing of antibiotics including Vancomycin... with half of Ontarios population working in Detroit you can see how it would spread.
To: fanfan
The bug is already present in the US. It is often seen in young athletes in contact sports.
