Had a run in with MRSA. Got a nice shinny hip out of the deal. I.V. antibotics for 6 months. Loss of hearing in one ear.

30% of HCWs carry it in their noses, which is where they figure I got my infection from. Picked my nose, a little blood, a few days of sore nose, than BOOM!

I DO NOT consider MRSA to be anything at all compareable to Ebola for transmisibility. The facility I was getting my daily I.V. antibotics had approximately 25 patients getting I.Vs at one time and there was a constant stream of patients all day.

My doctor caught MRSA in his nose. He was hospitalized for a long time.
