We had seen this infrequently, and "VRSA" (vancomycin-resistant staph) less so in the hospital setting. It occurred in chronically ill and ventilated patients. These patients were always on some level of barrier isolation, but the healthy faced little danger of contamination. It seems this has changed. If this is "out" in the community and can be transferred through casual contact, this is a big problem. I certainly hope they are working on this.
Until then, I will repeat what everyone's mother has been telling them for a very long time: WASH YOUR HANDS; and keep your fingers out of your mouth and eyes.
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.)
