Hi everyone
I just found out I have MRSA, but I think I've had it for a long time. I have
been getting (small)boils on and off for about 4 years. My doctor at the time
didn't seem that interested, so I thought it was no big deal.
I'm a pretty quite person so I didn't ask any questions I just came home and
started looking up stuff on the internet. I seems like this germ is
non-stoppable.
I baby sit my grandson, and today he cut his foot, and I totally freaked out. I
didn't know If I should even touch him. I felt like a gaint cootie. I scrubed my
hands and dabbed it with alcohol, after I dabbed the alcohol I went to blow on
it and thought maybe it's in my breath. I thru a bandaid on it. I'm afraid to
touch him, or anyone else. I couldn't live with myself if I gave this to
someone. Will this germ be on and in me forever? I'm on doxycycl, and Mupirocin
for my nose. Can I touch people without worring?
