Could Hotels Be The Source Of Your Community Acquired MRSA?

If you're going anywhere in or out of the U.S. for your vacation or business, be sure to double check with the hotel that you're going to be staying. The MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) sometimes spelled MERSA, super bug has been showing up in hotels all over the world making people sick.

MRSA is a tough to kill staph bacterium that can be contracted by human contact and be deadly to those who already have a weak, compromised immune system. Even healthy people are not safe from getting this infection. All you need is a scratch or sore for the MRSA to enter your body.

Have you ever looked at your bed sheets or been in the bed eating, room service of course, dropped a piece of food on the sheets and wondered if you should eat it or not?

* It can't be as dirty as the floor.

* Have the sheets been cleaned since the last person was in this room?

* How well were they cleaned if they were cleaned at all?

* What about the napkin and how about the towels in the bathroom?

* Did somebody wipe an open cut or their nose on the towels and how well were they washed and sanitized?

That's exactly how you do get Community Acquired MRSA. Out in the community where other people frequent. You can't wash your hands every time you shake hands with someone, touch a door knob or handrail. You can only hope the facility you are in changes their air filters often to not circulate the bacteria and cleans all surfaces well.

And what about the airplane you flew on to get to your hotel? The little man who sat next to you, sneezed the whole flight. What bacteria did he share with everybody? You can't stay home either, you have to make a living. So you pretty much have to take your chances that the better hotels have taken some precautions to clean the best they can. But was it good enough?

If Community Acquired MRSA is Antibiotic Resistant is Sterilizing the Answer?

Unfortunately MRSA is resistant to most antibiotics and sterilants. Treating this infection can be difficult. Health officials blame the over use of antibiotics. Most of the foods we eat today have been treated with antibiotics in one form or another too. So we really have allowed MRSA to build a high tolerance for antibiotics.

MRSA was started in hospitals that were less than sanitary and has continued to live and breed in most places where humans tend to congregate. Chlorine and other disinfectants work only 99.9% of the time so what does "cleaning well" really mean?

Schools, gyms, airlines, hotels and even cruise ships can all be places harboring the Community Acquired MRSA bacteria. Even starting with a sterile environment, it is only sterile until another un-sterile person or item is brought into the area. Then the community acquired MRSA could easily be introduced again.

Is Shutting Down Facilities the Answer to MRSA Prevention?

In the past couple of years hotels and resorts in this country have been blamed for making their guests ill with the MRSA super bug. If they shut down it becomes very expensive and there's nothing that is 100% effective against community acquired MRSA anyway. What is the answer to MRSA Prevention?

Finally, There is Something 100% Effective for MRSA Prevention

Today there is something new. It's better than just washing your hands often and changing your air filter daily and washing towels, sheets, everything in more chlorine than you can stand to smell. This product is a safe and 100% effective packet that when you add moisture emits a safe gas throughout the room and kills all the bacteria, virus and MRSA super bugs in the area, in 4 hours or 3 weeks. It's the perfect odor and mold killer and oxidizes smoke too!

This product is chlorine dioxide and has been used for over 100 years to kill bacteria in water, pulp and more. The new packaging makes it so the building doesn't need to be evacuated like a HAZMAT procedure would and the cost is so much less than HAZMAT you'll be amazed. Just hang a packet in your stateroom or hotel room and wait. Or insist your hotel and cruise line use it themselves.

Keeping MRSA out is a lot cheaper then cleaning it out. Using this new proactive product will keep your employees healthy, your guests safe and happy, and safe and happy guests always come back.

Community Aquired MRSA

CA-MRSA (for community-acquired, or community-associated Staphylococcus aureus) ha been on the rise for years in many communities and is now cause for much concern. The thing is, mrsa is somewhat expected from anyone admitted to a hospital or wvwn works in one. Estimates today in the U.S. is that 10% of all mrsa infection are community acquired. This causes nasty skin and soft tissue infections in persons that are otherwise healthy and were not recently hospitalized or have been through some sort of invasive surgery One out of every five cases is due to hospitalization. CA-MRSA has been displaying rapid growth in specific populations, including prisoners, athletes, children, homosexuals, military recruits, Pacific Islanders, Alaskan Natives and Native Americans.

Treating MRSA.

Treatment of CA-MRSA skin infections is not the easiest thing to do. Skin ointments containing antibiotics, such as mupirocin or fusidic acid, can be used, but watch out. Mrsa has shown great resilience in its adaptation and resistance to these antibiotics. Beta-lactam antibiotics (i.e., methicillin and oxacillin), commonly used for staph aureus infections (such as furuncles, abscesses, and cellulitis), are a waste of time. The strange thing is that hospital MRSA, has built up a resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics, (including macrolides, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines and lincosamides), CA-MRSA on the other hand, is still treatable by a few antibiotic classes outside of the beta-lactam group (e.g., clindamycin).

Prevention.

Inspection spreads through close, skin-to-skin contact (such as that found in contact sports), through contact with open skin wounds (cuts, abrasions) and through contact with contaminated items or surfaces. ( staph can survive for for over 24 hours). Here's the worst part, the organisms regular enter healthy, intact skin. Congested living conditions and poor hygienic practices are the main factors that contribute greatly to the spread of this organism. At this time the only available way of preventing this infection is by doing the following:

Diligent hygiene practices that includes regular hand washing

Careful wound maintenance, and proper disposal of possibly contaminated bandages

Limit the use of razors, brushes etc to yourself. Public exercise equipment should be wiped down before and after use

Do not wait t0 get MRSA and have to do it the expensive way. Prevent it naturally.
