Where Has MRSA Gone?

Throughout the year 2005, newspaper and television programs were filled with stories about the new superbug "MRSA," but lately there has hardly been a word spoken about this deadly bacteria. Has MRSA gone away? Even though MRSA no longer makes news headlines, this life threatening bug is more abundant than it ever was before.

Sadly, many people simply forget about important topics once they are no longer spread through mass media. To disregard MRSA as yesterday's news is simply a poor decision. MRSA kills high school athletes within days, it stalks and ravages those laying weak inside of hospitals, and it preys upon open wounds of any kind. The truth is, that if you look hard enough you can easily find reports detailing all of the things MRSA has been responsible for within the past few months.

The United States government just released a report stating that nearly 90,000 Americans are infected with the superbug MRSA each year. Frighteningly, those deaths that MRSA has caused outnumber the amount of deaths due to AIDS within the United States. Just how bad is this superbug? Out of 100,000 people, nearly 32 people will experience some sort of deadly and invasive superbug infection.

Recently, a 17 year old high school senior from Virginia was infected with MRSA. Within days, this superbug spread to the high school student's lungs, liver, kidney, and heart leading to instant death. Prior to this superbug infection, the aforementioned high school senior had never been sick a day in their life. Even though all of these stories and statistics are scary, they are not the most frightening part of the entire superbug outbreak.

MRSA can live on your skin, and it especially likes to cling to the noses of otherwise healthy people. If you are carrying some form of MRSA, you will likely not even know it. However, your children, friends, and family can easily catch MRSA from you if this superbug is merely resting on your skin. Without adequate protection, you (and thousands of other people like you) can easily spread MRSA throughout your neighborhood in a matter of days.

Even if you show no signs of MRSA, take the necessary steps in order to keep all those around you safe. Simply washing your hands with hot water is not enough, and MRSA can only be killed while it is on your skin with "Hand Sanz" antibacterial spray. Though Hand Sanz cannot stop MRSA once it has entered a person's blood stream, it will kill any sort of superbug already living on your skin. If you truly want to help the general population from contracting this deadly MRSA disease, Hand Sanz will stop it in its tracks.
