Device to Dry Your Boots / Booties

LOL No MRSA is not real, its like bigfoot, lochness, and unicorns... until you get it! Trust me! I got it once on the side of my knee and also on the side of my NECK! It is painful as hell, and when I got it on the side of my knee, I couldnt walk for a couple of days. It oozes, puses, swells is always hot and the only relieve other than the vicodin and super antibiotics are hot wet compresses. Many of you may never get it, but trust me, one small cut, ingrown hair folicle or knick that gets exposed to it, and you'll wish you didnt take the chance!! Yes im not being a *****, ask anyone who has had it... IT SUCKS!!!

 

Wrong. The only item correct in your dissertation is that it has evolved out, and became a bit more "available" in institutions (gyms are an institution) in recent times. It is a hard infection "to catch". It will NOT be in wetsuit boots--highly unlikely, which is my point. Now go back to wikipedia.....
Regular gram+ cocci, such as staph, and strep as well, create the same problems that you and others describe persons to persons. But MRSA requires "special" conditions to prevail, of which suppressed immunity is but one.
I spent a career working with infectious disease physicians and pulmonologists in a pharma setting, after a short career as a cop (very short).

holy fock it's a quasi-haiku where the prose is boote-shaped

 

Youz forgot smellyboot!!

 

Wow, it is boot-shaped.

Hey, you have any Quincy-inspired tidbits aboot MRCA, Spicoli?

Anyone ever have Shingles?

 

Just took the shingles vaccine recently. So I can say "no".
Have you had shingles?? Not the ones on your house roof, if you have a house....

 

I actually think the complete opposite. Wet buites are way easier to get on. I threw a pair on about 2 weeks ago after not using for 9 months. I was hoping all around the street trying to get em on. looked like an idiot doing the hokey pokey.

 

Someone on here got MRSA in the same spot from the same suite...like on the right knee twice or something...if I rememebr correctly, which I usually do/br

 

That's weird, I'm the same but when those fuggers are even just a little damp...same with the gluves

 

Your Pier, you've watched Quincy, Emergency and Chicago Hope, besides frequently staying at Holiday Inn Expresses or Expressi.......

So do you have any thoughts on MRCA?

Oh, in case any wonder, real Americans say, "MRCA."

What aboot boils? The plague?

 

"If you've had the chicken pox, chances are shingles is living inside of you" - I HATE THAT COMMERCIAL!!!!

 

First--there is certainly a "rhyme or reason" to pathogens--it is demonstrated epidemiologically, it is demonstrated in clinical studies, and it is demonstrated in laboratory studies (MICs, etc). Certain bugs are community acquired pathogens, others, nosocomial in origin. They are also subdivided by their virulence according to factors such as gram+ and gram-. (gram staining)
MRSA has migrated from hospital acquired, but yet remains an uncommon bacterial isolate in community infections.
And yes, overuse of antibiotics helped this along.
But finding MRSA in a wetsuit would be very rare. Which is my original point.
I did not work with "health professionals" -- I worked with (doing studies, setting them up, etc) infectious disease docs (top researchers) and ICU docs-- "health Professionals" is a statement trying to minimize that point. I did it for better part of 30 year career. if you do not believe it...who cares?? I don't.
But spreading panic about MRSA makes one no better than NBC, ABC, story mongers....

 

You may hate it, but all evidence supports it!!

 

So, was tryin to be helpful round the house and all a week ago and made some lasagna - that went well

Then thought I'd make some garlic bread from some leftover boule and reached for the closets, sharpest knife - it was a chef's knife...started sawin away and the bread turned face down and the knife kept goin...through my index and middle fingers

Covered them w/gauze and some athletic tape and went surfing, 2 year old stank oneill 5 mil claw gloves and all 5 days later (middle finger still has some tingles from hittin the nerve I think)

Long story short, wasn't too worried about gluves, but it wouldn't go rubbin dog shyte on the cut...and there are a lotta dogs that frequent the beaches in me...good thing I's wearing the gluves

 

I like how this went from some modern day, first-world struggles of damp booties to MRCA and staph infection discussions. That's what I'm talking aboot.

Barry, when I first saw your name on the boards I instantly regarded you as being from Florida. It's that name, "Barry Cuda," which is real clever. Makes me think of Florida.

I just smoked the last of my ridiculously small bags of herb I get. And I'm real worried aboot my boy who is now smoking PCP, for real. He lost all of his pills on Saturday, due to PCP inebriation, and showed-up at my house yesterday and was wacked-off. He could only manage to throw a handful of bud/shake in my hand. I just let it go, and wished him gone. Man, that stuff is scary. FRFR

FRFR is internet for "For real for real." Like, when Jacob N got out of prison a few months ago, he posted on his FB..." I'm in a halfway house in Camden. This town is F-up makes me want to never go back again. FRFR"

Two weeks later, back in againe. This guy needs to be sent to Syria. FRFR. LOL !!! HA.

Oh yeah there's a new threade for problems.....
