My oldest daughter was bite by a few spiders. She got meningitis and then MRSA. She has had to have these strange lumps removed from her legs since then. Doctors have told her they are MRSA related.

I went to the hospital to see my mother who had MRSA. They had taken the notice off her door to suit up so I didn't. When the nurse saw my sister and I visiting without being suited up she threw us out. She told us to go home , take off our clothes by the washer and wash them ASAP. We then took hot showers. However we folded our coats over the rail near my parrot's cage. A few hours later my parrot fell to the bottom of the cage and died. I think it was from the coats but never proved it. We never came down with the MRSA. However my mom never got rid of it and had more problems until she died. Nursing homes are filled with MRSA and I won't let my daughter bring my grandson there during winter months. At least we can visit outside when the weather is good. MRSA is some nasty stuff to deal with.

What really got my goat was seeking information on what to do as far as our own measures to rid the house of any left over germs and such.I ended up on the Internet for the info I needed.We are[wife and I]far from well off.Below poverty level,but we keep a clean environment in our home.It cost a pretty penny,but we went through the house with all we had.Anti bacterial everything,cleaned anything and everything,used massive amounts of clorox,etc.Because you may not have a lot of money,does not mean you need to live like pigs.You are right,it is a dreadful thing to have.Especially for the older and infirmed people.Hope all is OK for your family.

She probably NEVER had ANY spider bites.... it was all MSRA. One of the most common initial symptoms of MSRA are unexplained "spider bites" on the skin - usually mis-diagnosed by Doctors.
