MRSA problem again
Issue date: 4/21/08 Section: Letters to Editor
Dear Editor,
I, too, contracted MRSA aka the "Superbug." After boxing in the CPA, I noticed that my hands were covered in acne-looking blisters. It spread to my arms and face - painful blisters filled with thick puss. I took antibiotics and it went away for a short while, then came back. I am now awaiting my results to see if I'm a carrier. If I am, that means I will have MRSA for the rest of my life.
I urge ALL students to visit http://drphill.com/shows/show/1048 and read about this deadly disease. Dr Phil ran a special on high school and college students who have died from this disease. This article could save your life.
