MRSA Is Back

Remember MRSA - the resistant bug that caused panic in parents last year? It's back. It tends to like high school kids in sports best according to Reuters. I know we had a few kids develop it in my kids' school last winter and they weren't all football players.

MRSA symptoms depend on where you are infected according to WebMD. I'd check them out, understand them, so you can take appropriate precautions without getting panicky or neurotic (I tend towards the neurotic myself).

MRSA stands for: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
