oh for crying out loud, try more credible sources for your information!!
This is from the CDC:
"Overview of Community-Associated MRSA - Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a type of
staph that is resistant to certain antibiotics. These antibiotics include methicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin. Staph infections, including MRSA,
occur most frequently among persons in hospitals and healthcare facilities (such as nursing homes and dialysis centers) who have weakened immune systems."
From MedilinePlus:
Causes
Staphylococcus aureus (“staph”
are common bacteria that normally live on the skin. The bacteria also live harmlessly in the nasal passages of roughly 30% of the U.S. population. Staph can cause infection when they enter the skin through a cut or sore. Infection can also occur when the bacteria move inside of the body through a catheter or breathing tube. The infection can be minor and local (for example, a pimple), or more serious.
Most staph infections occur in people with weak immune systems, usually patients in hospitals and long-term care facilities. MRSA infections in hospitalized patients are known as healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA).
People who have been hospitalized or had surgery within the past year are at high risk for HA-MRSA. People receiving certain treatments, such as dialysis, are also at high risk. MRSA bacteria account for a large percentage of hospital-acquired staph infections.
Over the past several years, MRSA infections in people not considered high-risk have increased. These infections, known as community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA), occur in otherwise healthy people who have no history of hospitalization in the last year.
Many such infections have occurred among athletes who share equipment or personal items (such as towels or razors) and children in daycare facilities."
From MedicineNet:
"How do you get infected with MRSA?
There are two major ways people become infected with MRSA. The first is
physical contact with someone who is either infected or is a carrier (people who are not infected but are colonized with the bacteria on their body) of MRSA. The second way is for people to
physically contact MRSA on any objects such as door handles, floors, sinks, or towels that have been touched by an MRSA-infected person or carrier. Normal skin tissue in people usually does not allow MRSA infection to develop; however, if there are cuts, abrasions, or other skin flaws such as
psoriasis (chronic skin disease with dry patches, redness, and scaly skin), MRSA may proliferate. Many otherwise healthy individuals, especially children and young adults, do not notice small skin imperfections or scrapes and may be lax in taking precautions about skin contacts.
This is the likely reason MRSA outbreaks occur in diverse types of people such as school team players (like football players or wrestlers), dormitory residents, and armed-services personnel in constant close contact.
People with higher risk of MRSA infection are those with obvious skin breaks (surgical patients, hospital patients with intravenous lines,
burns, or skin ulcers) and patients with depressed immune systems (infants, elderly, or
HIV-infected individuals) or chronic diseases (
diabetes or
cancer). Patients with
pneumonia (lung infection) due to MRSA can transmit MRSA by airborne droplets. Health-care workers as a group are repeatedly exposed to MRSA-positive patients and can have a high rate of infection if precautions are not taken. Health-care workers and patient visitors should use disposable masks, gowns, and gloves when they enter the MRSA-infected patient's room."
From WedMD:
"Who is at risk for community-associated MRSA?
Outbreaks have been reported among athletes, prisoners, and military recruits;
risk factors include sharing close quarters and personal hygiene products like razors or towels. Infections are increasingly being seen in the general community and have been reported in schools, gyms, and even day care centers."
I find these sources of information a LOT more credible than the few sources that seem to have an agenda to point a finger at the homosexual community regarding MRSA. The bottom line becomes this: if you want credible information, you go to credible sources. If you want the lunatic fringe, you go to sources like the OP of this thread.
Pity it is used to condemn a group of people.
The report speaks for itself.
