Many of us get sick and say "I'll wait a couple days and see if it's a 48 hr thing" and now I read that time can cost a life with this MRSA. So, how does it get inside you if it doesn't come from a skin spot?
I'm still freaking out by the college girl last week who died of meningitis with the classic headache/stiff neck symptoms and the hospital made fun of her and called her a "drama queen" when she asked to be medivac'd elsewhere in TN.

Most bacterial infections cause a rapid increase in body temperature with eye soreness and redness, and horrific migraines. We are talking ~100+ within 12 hours. There is also vomiting and blood out of some orifices. Not to be gross, but it is Halloween, some mucus will be yellowish green. And the site of primary infection could appear black or scabbed...
That is the usual pathology for Staph infections gone wild. It is worse when it is MRSA.
Not to mention opportunistic infections coming along for the ride.
Basically, some folks need to use a lot of liquid soap with bleach or lye and MAYBE there won't be distorted infections. But we don't do it like that anymore...
