Well, I wouldn't go THAT far, there is nothing manufactured about the increased reportings of MRSA in the general population.
My point was that its existence is nothing new... and that it is not an epidemic. That being said, all procautions (all of which are common sense) should be taken.
If nothing else, the sudden "awareness" of MRSA will be a wakeup call to people that there are these scary bugs out there (and you DON'T want to have them), but like so many other infections, they are largely preventable.
To those of you who have cultured MRSA, you know how hard it is to get rid of it. Good luck in your treatments!!!!
