Guys, after two months of fighting what I thought was just a bout of acne, I've been diagnosed with a MRSA staph infection. It looks like super bad acne.

My thoughts are that I came into contact with it by using the gym supplied towels to wipe my face during work outs.

Just giving you all a heads up to be careful with gym towels/equipment.

MRSA is treated with strong antibiotics....not typical ones.....

THROUGHLY wash hands before leaving the gym...and not just a quick wash...i'm talking about a min with a good lather....this bacterial is going around

When I was a kid, I had a Great Dane with staph infection. I always figured she got it at the gym.

Thanks for the heads up and wake up call to the quick wash thing. Hope you get better soon, bro.

You should not assume that other people do what you do in the locker room.

Some people on here can actually pay their gym fee from their job.

People amaze me....they'll piss, shit, sweat, and won't bother to EVEN flush the toilet, or wipe down the equipment. Do you really think they would take a good minute to properly wash their hands?

Most people have zero regard for others.....

coltrane · « **Reply #10 on:** November 28, 2007, 01:30:10 PM »

definitely

i've noticed most don't wash there hands when leaving the gym either....

I really assumed that the gyms disinfect the towels they hand out my washing them...so much for assumptions

Do you wipe your mouth after every load ?

I don't trust gym towels.

I always bring my own. I doubt they bleach theirs.

Word. I sold antibiotics for 4 years and have seen some of the nastiest MRSA infections you'd never want to see!

Bring your own towel and if your skin's gonna touch a piece of equipment, wipe it down first!

That shit is no joke.

I don't used the gyms towels or wash my hands when leaving the gym ether. I go straight home and take a shower tho.

The MRSA you speak of is for real. Good luck with your treatment and thanks for the reminder.

dude, showering it necessary, but so is washing your hands prior to leaving. Think about all the equipment you've used and now your going to infect your car, home , etc....

Triple H---what was a common one to clear MRSA? I've been given Bactrim

I sold Levaquin, it was approved for Methicillin susceptible staph aureus. Since MRSA is Meth-resistant, there are few that do the job.

Vancomycin and teicoplanin are glycopeptide antibiotics used to treat MRSA infections, but the Doc may have chosen Bactrim because it is an older drug, not used my as many docs. What happens the longer a drug (particularly an antibiotic) is in play, the more resistance develops within the general community. An older drug like Bactrim can become more "potent" after it's been out of circulation for a while.

I had some urollogists that would use it as a first line, saving "stronger" drugs like quinolones.

Vancomycin is kind of the "last resort" drug. You know, the "he's about to go meet Jesus" drug!

So there are others that will work, but you have the right thing for your severity of condition. That matches the treatment protocols to which I was privy. Besides, the doc wants to save the Big Gun for somebody with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel!
