As one who has been personally impacted by MRSA I am happy to see this. Three years ago I had a spider bite that was progressively getting worse. I wasn't alarmed as I was waiting for my scheduled doctor's appointment coming up in a few days. The day of my appointment I passed out 2 times in five minutes. My organs were shutting down one-by-one and my brain was beginning to be oxygen deprived, which is why I passed out. My doctor called a surgeon to his office to cut the infection out and I was immediately hospitalized and stayed there for over 5 weeks. The struggle was finding the antibiotic the MRSA wasn't resistant to. Now it randomly shows up and I have to start antibiotics again. We have got to find an answer to this and doctors have got to stop prescribing antibiotics when they are not necessary.
