MRSA Wound
Brown Recluse Spider Bite

Probably based on seeing something like 8 or 9 cases during the past week.
It is nonetheless disturbing, but the numbers are confusing.
Thanks for posting. Very interesting.
I know they've carried bed bugs, lice and other parasites on their own parasitic bodies into North America.

MRSA, resistant to several types of antibiotic, already is a major problem within Canadian health care facilities, costing hospitals an estimated $100-million a year and killing 500 or more patients annually.
But it is likely to become a fixture in the community, too, imposing a significant new burden on the health care system, infectious disease experts say.
The new study, spearheaded by the University of Guelph's veterinary college, found that methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus will move repeatedly between humans and household animals.

Michael Savage warned about the threat of anti-biotic resistant diseases brought in my immigrants, 15 years ago in a book, before he was on talk radio. It is just going to get worse...much worse.
Does this have anything to do with meth-drug users who have been coming up with staph infections from "spider bites" for a couple of years now?
Sounds like a job for propolis: http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1472-765X.2003.01458.x?cookieSet=1&journalCode=lam
Additionally, propolis has been found to have synergistic boosting effects with antibiotic regimens: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=author:"Krol"%20intitle:"Synergistic%20effect%20of%20ethanolic%20extract%20of%20propolis%20and%20..."%20&hl=en&lr=&oi=scholarr
Last week? ..recently..the woman doc on CNN did a segment on this..there may be some info on their site.
Hydrogen peroxide or meat tenderizer are better. H2O2 WILL kill the bugs (better than alcohol), and the enzymes in the meat tenderizer will denature the toxic proteins of many insect venoms. Moiten a cotton ball with H2O2 and hold it on the affected spot for five minutes or so---repeat as needed.
I'll have a look. Thanks!
Corpus Christi,Texas, has had 750 cases so far this year, mostly affecting children, and some fatalities. CNN reported that this is up from 50 cases three years ago.
Really? More info please.
Mexico dumped its poor over the border -- ethnic cleansing. We deal with the result, and that includes measles, leprosy, whooping cough, the whole alphabet of hepatitis, etc.. And now this. (Education was something Mexico didn't think applied to the poor. Let them live in squalor, be illiterate all their miserable lives, so what. Better yet, dump them over the border as cheap labor with orders to send money home. If they're diseased, all the better. Here's a map of San Diego with a big X over the nearest hospital.)
That's what Mexico doesn't bother about. 'WASH YOUR HANDS and keep your fingers out of your mouth and eyes'. It's basic education. When that's lacking and large numbers of people live together-- who knows how many jammed in apartments -- opportunistic bugs like MRSA strike. (In Lowell, MA not long ago, police raided a small apartment house and found 900 illegals living there. You can bet some were using the same towel.)
Good information. Thank you for passing it along.
