Coming from one who has had a MRSA infection, that is nasty stuff, and very hard to get rid of.

Mega Dittos...I am still fighting this type of staph infection. It is a major PITA.

Guys/ Gals .... While I can't prove that my infection came from our local waters/ beaches....

Make sure to shower ASAP after you exit the water and treat any nicks and cuts immediately with a good antibacterial such as hibicleans.

If you get little pimply bumps on your legs or thighs go to the doctor.

from article above

" And earlier this year, University of Miami researchers reported finding staph bacteria in four out of 10 ocean water samples collected by hundreds of bathers at a South Florida beach."

That looks like Fire Ant bites to me.

Damn the link to the article doesn't exist. I really wanted to read it.
Mrsa is some nasty stuff and I have had a few of them and I wouldn't wish this stuff on my worst enemy.
