MRSA is staphlococcus; the flesh eating (Necrotizing Fasciitis) is streptococcus. Are you in Florida? I just left there and still have my home in central Florida.

Can be staph now, too, according to wikipedia

However, since at least 2001, another serious form of monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis has been observed with increasing frequency.[2] In these cases, the bacterium causing it is methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
