It's always something.

You're right. As one PBS show on life in the desert said...
"Where there is something that can be eaten...something will appear
that will attempt to eat it."

Having had one bout with MRSA that nearly took my left leg
(and probably my life, if I'd not gotten antibiotics for another
12 hours),
people gotta' be vigilant about any skin rash, especially one
that gets warm to the touch and is accompanied by fever and muscular pain
(well, those were the symptoms with me).

And once you have an episode...be ready for repeat episodes.
(that happened to me and one MD said that's normal).

I agree with you.Once you have had it,a recurrence is very likely to happen again.I know nurses who have gotten it more than once.I hope you are alright now.

Yep, I had an other infection after I got rid of the first one. But got rid of it.

Haven't had one since.

When I went to the Doc the first time around, he said I was the 3rd case THAT day who had a staph infection. Geesh.
