ParticipantHi Marla
Could you please explain what MRSA is ,my friend contracted this from the hospital and her doctor told her that it is very hard to treat, she had antibiotics for it,but somehow she still has it.I was wondering if this is contagious as i’m worried about visiting her.

KeymasterMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a staph infection that is difficult to treat because of antibiotic resistance. Staph infections caused by MRSA usually spread in hospitals, other healthcare facilities, and in the community where you live, work, and go to school. Unfortunately because of antibiotic resistance, it doesn’t response well to antibiotics. Read my latest blog post talking about this to get some tips. She needs to boost her immune system to hopefully naturally help fight this. Young Living Clove Essential oil, Pure Encapsulations Berberine Immune support as well as Gammadyn cu-au-ag and Pure Encapsulation’s Innate Immune Support (all on puremarket.ca) may be good places to start but she has to check with her doctor before taking anything because obviously she is not a client and i know nothing about her health history. these supplements are just general recommendations.

ParticipantThanks Marla .I was wondering if this is contagious and how does it spread?

KeymasterYes it is ABSOLUTELY contagious and can spread from person to person usually via skin contact!

KeymasterI should add: Any injection can carry staph from the skin, where it routinely resides, into systemic circulation. That could apply to vaccination and IVIg. A person I know had a flare of some bone-on-bone knee pain after an intense hike. He got a steroid injection and ended up with an intense staph infection in his knee joint, due to inadequate sterilization of the injection site. He required surgery to clean out the joint.
Also, you may want to consider using topical treatments for the infection itself if boils are present. Essential oils can work great! Here is a great PubMed piece on this (which I referred to when helping a friend recover from MRSA boils): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15555788/
