Somehow, someway, I got a staph infection in my leg.?ÿ No idea how I got it.?ÿ I must have scratched my leg on something nasty out there, but what surveyor doesn't come away from a job and not receive a scratch or two, especially working in the woods. ?ÿ?ÿ
I don't even think it broke the skin to make it bleed, such is life.?ÿ Be careful out there.
Not a medical trained person but I think staph infections can be airborne too.
I was researching air purifiers recently and the ones with hepa and uv stated that it eliminates staph.
Knew someone years ago who got a bad leg infection with staph.
I would believe that your?ÿ auto immune system plays a factor.
Battling one for months. Very stubborn and resistant to antibiotics. Staph is everywhere, problem seems to come from their evolution of resistance to antibiotics when they're over used in poultry, hog farming and over prescribed. Little bastards that survive pass on their resistance. Ran across this article recently?ÿI found interesting dealing with the invasive Brazilian Pepper tree.

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
Had sepsis in 2007 that started from a finger and went all the way up arm, almost made it to my heart, went to hospital just in time. Roommate at hospital had same in his leg from mobile home skirting. Happens a lot.
It's been over twenty years since I had one huge purple knot on my leg (size of a ping pong ball) staph infection.?ÿ
Doc lanced it and i spent over a week, once a day, in a salt bath cleaning the wound with a q-tip.

That closed our school gym down around 1969.
One guy got it and the stuff is so contageous that the entire locker rooms, showers and public facilities had to be scrubed with phyisohex.
It was taken off the shelf because it worked so well and started some trade war on the corporate level.
It will stop staph immediately.

True, if by "started some trade war" you mean "caused fatal brain damage."
Twice my father was hospitalized with staph infection for several days each time. ?ÿSomething about being diabetic makes it even more serious.
