Fellas, there is now an out break of the MRSA Virus going around in gyms, and in the gay community.I have had a few friends, and Doctors tell me that alot of there patients are comming in with the sores and boils that dont go away.Glad I'm not GAY
The best away to avoid catching the MRSA virus is to wiop off gym equiptment before you use it, and wash your hands in warm water with soap after you leave the gym.
The big problem with the MRSA virus is alot of Doctors dont know how to diagnose it.I had one friend go to 6 diffrent doctors before I saw onew of his sores, and told him, I think you have the MRSA virus.I was right.
You can catch the MRSA even in hospitols, its bascially a very bad staph infection.
If you catch the MRSA virus, you will probably be put on Zyvox, or Bactrim, then you will have to wash with Hibiclens, and put on a medicated cream such as Mupirocin.I got this information from A well known Doctor and Pharmiscists friend.
I know about 4-5 people who have caught this Virus, and one was in the hospitol for a week.
The MRSA virus is no joke, its not just something you just put peroxide on, you have to go to a knoweldgeable doctor, who knows how to treat it.If you dont, you could die.
I am not tryiong to scare anybody just warn people that there is a major outbreak in gyms.
The MRSA Viurs loves to live in warm areas, were people sweat like gyms, health clubs spa's etc etc.
Mr Nobody, ....If you workout in a gym, you can catch the MRSA Virus.Not only gays get it.But I am sure there are gay men that work out at your gym.Every gym has its share of gay men.

so are you saying that we should we wear a condom while working out just to be on the safe side?

why is it that you dont know what you are talking about almost 90% of the time. for one its not a virus, its a bacterium, two is a strain of the widely disseminated staphyacoccus aureus and gram positive cocci. It's signs and symptoms are very easy to diagnose.He read results from a study they completed at the University of They Say = UoTS
the fact that you repeatdly say virus makes you a meatbag, then you add in "doctors told me" to plead to authority to make it sound like you have some knowledge.

Necrosis MRSA is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus .Your right it is a bacteria, but I was putting it in Laymens terms so people would know what I am talking about.My point is it is going around,and I am warning people because there is an outbreak.As far as Doctors go, the docotrs in Las Vegas suck, my friend went to 6 duffrent doctors who just thought it was a rash.He had it for 6 months without any luck.He went he numerious dermatologist, and general practice docotors and not once got the right diagnosis.Why you think they call a doctors profession a "practice".
It angered me that he had to go to the hospitol because of misdiagnosis.
If more people new about the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , then it may help people protect themselves, and know how to do deal with if they do catch it.
It's signs and symptoms are very easy to diagnose.
a bacteria and virus are nothing alike. laymens terms means you simplify the complex, you just are flat out wrong.
You're wrong. The other day, I was explaining something about the now extinct T Rex to a mate of mine. He didn't know what I was referring to, so I used the laymen term for it (lion) and he got it instantly. Communication is all about breaking it down to improve understanding.
This is the same reason all of Matt T's "endorsers" write their contracts in crayon.

i cant even tell if your fucking with me.
If you're being serious with that comment, I'm a bit let down that my sarcasm didn't get through :(
The guy is referring to Staph Aureus as a virus and I was trying to say that's as absurd as calling a T Rex a lion (worse actually, cause it's two different kingdoms). Now's probably a good time to tell you I studied Microbiology with a Molecular Biology major at uni ;D

i got it back when i was 21.. got it on the back of my head.. first doc said was foliculitus.. it got worse.. went to a dermatologist.. said its mrsa. got it from a dirty bench press.. thats why its on the back of my head.. til this day it still flares up.. they said once u get it. its in your blood forever.. kind of like herpes...
actually sounds like it went into the bone and possibly cause osteomelitis. if you have this its very serious, you need an xray or MRI. It turns into a type of cancer for some people, eating away and infecting bones over time.. you are constantly on highly toxic antibiotics forever if they arent removing bone. I have a friend of the family who has this and most of his skull is now metal plates and his face covered in scars. major surgeries every year...All from a minor accident that happened to him at age 21. (a scrape on his shin that hit the bone) it keeps reappearing in diffrent bones in his body...coming to the surface etc. Im sure it could come from the bone to the surface of the skin if that makes sense. You may have to have part of your skull removed.. no joke. if its indeed in your blood you need to be on antibiotics until it isnt.
You may have had a cut or open sore on your head when you got it. anyway, being that the bone is that close to the surface it couldve easily happened. scary. I dont mean to freak you out but youve got to get to the bottom of this. Dont let the docs shrug you off.
very important people... if you notice sore or rash on the skin it is very important to treat ASAP..even if you dont think it is MRSA. It could turn into that easily. Get some colloidal silver (kills everything) and pure tea tree oil, apply it to the area until it heals. antibiotics dont really do shit for this strain of staph..it is highly resistant. Everyone should keep these two things on hand, especially this time of year when so many are outdoors, getting bugbites, going to gyms, etc. staph thrives in hot humid environments.
once it gets into the blood or the bone, you need to be hospitalized.. any may never fully get rid of it. but dont let it get that far. VERY serious. thanks for posting, getitonny
i typed this out quickly and gotta run for a few.. hope you all can make sense of it
garlic has been shown effective.Whaaaaaaaaat?

Two diallyl sulphides derived from garlic inhibit meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in diabetic mice.Tsao SM, Liu WH, Yin MC.
Department of Infection, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung City, Taiwan, Republic of China.
The inhibitory effect of diallyl sulphide (DAS) and diallyl disulphide (DADS) against meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in diabetic mice was studied. The influence of these agents on the plasma levels of fibronectin, C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, interleukin (IL)-6 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and on the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), antithrombin III (AT-III) and protein C, in MRSA-infected diabetic mice was examined. To induce diabetes, mice were treated intraperitoneally with streptozotocin for 5 consecutive days. Ten clinical MRSA isolates obtained from infected patients were used in this study. Diabetic mice were infected by injecting 200 microl MRSA/PBS suspension containing 10(7) c.f.u. via the tail vein. At day 4 post-infection, 200 microl DAS or DADS was administrated twice orally with an interval of 12 h. Eight hours after each administration, the blood and organs of mice were collected. Results showed that DAS and DADS significantly decreased MRSA viability in the kidney (P<0.05), with administration of each agent twice showing a greater inhibitory effect than when given once (P<0.05). MRSA infection in diabetic mice significantly elevated the plasma levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha (P<0.05). DAS or DADS given once did not affect the plasma levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha (P>0.05); however, DAS or DADS given twice significantly decreased the plasma levels of both IL-6 and TNF-alpha (P<0.05). DAS and DADS treatments also significantly reduced the plasma levels of CRP, fibronectin and fibrinogen (P<0.05). DAS or DADS treatment did not affect PAI-1 activity (P>0.05), but DAS or DADS given twice significantly increased AT-III activity (P<0.05). DADS given twice elevated protein C activity (P<0.05). MRSA infection significantly increased malondialdehyde levels in the kidney and spleen (P<0.05), and these levels were significantly decreased by treatment with DAS or DADS (P<0.05). These data suggest that DAS and DADS could provide multiple protective functions against MRSA infection in diabetic mice.

Antibacterial activity of a new, stable, aqueous extract of allicin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.Cutler RR, Wilson P.
University of East London, School of Health and Bioscience, Stratford Campus, Romford Road, London E15 4LZ, UK. r.cutler@uel.ac.uk
The increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in hospitals and the community has led to a demand for new agents that could be used to decrease the spread of these bacteria. Topical agents such as mupirocin have been used to reduce nasal carriage and spread and to treat skin infections; however, resistance to mupirocin in MRSAs is increasing. Allicin is the main antibacterial agent isolated from garlic, but natural extracts can be unstable. In this study, a new, stable, aqueous extract of allicin (extracted from garlic) is tested on 30 clinical isolates of MRSA that show a range of susceptibilities to mupirocin. Strains were tested using agar diffusion tests, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). Diffusion tests showed that allicin liquids produced zone diameters >33 mm when the proposed therapeutic concentration of 500 microg/mL (0.0005% w/v) was used. The selection of this concentration was based on evidence from the MIC, MBC and agar diffusion tests in this study. Of the strains tested, 88% had MICs for allicin liquids of 16 microg/mL, and all strains were inhibited at 32 microg/mL. Furthermore, 88% of clinical isolates had MBCs of 128 microg/mL, and all were killed at 256 microg/mL. Of these strains, 82% showed intermediate or full resistance to mupirocin; however, this study showed that a concentration of 500 microg/mL in an aqueous cream base was required to produce an activity equivalent to 256 microg/mL allicin liquid.

Garlic extract and two diallyl sulphides inhibit methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in BALB/cA mice.Tsao SM, Hsu CC, Yin MC.
Department of Infection, Chungshan Medical University Hospital, Taiwan, ROC.
OBJECTIVES: The inhibitory effect of garlic extract, diallyl sulphide and diallyl disulphide against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in BALB/cA mice was studied. The influence of these agents upon the levels of fibronectin, interleukin-6 and lipid oxidation in MRSA-infected mice was examined. METHODS: Garlic extract at 100% and 50%; diallyl sulphide (DAS) at 10% and 5%; diallyl disulphide (DADS) at 1% and 0.5% were used in this study. Sixteen clinical MRSA isolates obtained from infected patients were used in this study (n=16). Mice were infected by injecting 200 microL MRSA-PBS solution, which contained 10(7) cfu, via the tail vein. At 16 h post-infection (p.i.), garlic extract, DAS or DADS at 200 microL was administrated orally. At 24 h p.i., mice were killed and blood, liver, kidney and spleen of each mouse were collected. Plasma and the filtrate from each organ and serial dilutions were used to determine colony count. Plasma fibronectin level was determined by rabbit anti-rat fibronectin antibody and quantified by ELISA. Interleukin-6 levels were determined by commercial kit. Lipid oxidation was determined by measuring malondialdehyde levels. RESULTS: The oral administration of these agents significantly decreased the viability of MRSA, in plasma, liver, kidney and spleen (P<0.05). MRSA infection significantly increased fibronectin and interleukin-6 levels in plasma of MRSA-infected mice (P<0.05); however, the oral administration of garlic extract and two diallyl sulphides significantly reduced both fibronectin and interleukin-6 levels (P<0.05). MRSA infection also significantly enhanced lipid oxidation in plasma and three organs (P<0.05). The treatments of garlic extract and two diallyl sulphides significantly decreased the malondialdehyde level and showed antioxidant protection (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These data strongly supported the conclusion that garlic extract, diallyl sulphide and diallyl disulphide possessed multiple protective functions against MRSA infection, in which diallyl sulphide and diallyl disulphide could be considered as novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of MRSA infection.
it woudl be hard to hay a multicenter study as lives are at stake, but garlic is a super herb for sure.
garlic has been shown effective.
Good of you to take the time. Thanks! :)
garlic/allicin would be good to take as part of the treatment, (it may slow the spread, or make one less suceptible to catching it in the first place) along with oregano oil..but the infection needs to be treated right at the site of the infection directly. nothing taken internally will do much for a staph infection on the surface of the skin. Oral antibiotics dont do anything...it is even resistant to Cipro.
ascorbic acid (vitamin C) applied directly to the skin and taken internally may also be effective but will burn like a MF. stick with the colloidal silver and tea tree oil for the skin.
read the study ::)
Fellas, there is now an out break of the MRSA Virus going around in gyms, and in the gay community.
I had to double check the date on this posting to make sure someone wasn't bumping some 2 year old thread.
MRSA is a problem, but this is nothing news. Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus use to be a problem only in hospitals, but now its pretty much everywhere. You can pick up lots of staph infections at the gym, but the difference with MRSA is that it gets very bad very quickly. But just contact on the skin is usually not enough. It needs a skin break, such as a scratch or pimple. To reduce the chance of getting MRSA, wash your hands often, and don't pick at sores or pimples. and if you do get a skin infection, don't wait around hoping it gets better on its own. it won't. in fact, left untreated you could die (http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=84575).
That's it me and you are gonna have to throw hands. Get board members to send $40,000.00 in cash to my po box so we can set up a cagefight.
