Infectious Germ Found at Public Beaches

Has anyone heard about MSRA being found at the beach? My brother was at a local beach in Huntington. He said he was body surfing and while walking out of the water, felt something on the bottom of his foot. He scratched it and forgot about it.

The next morning, it was a small pink itchy spot on the foot. A few days later, a blister appeared. He popped it and a yellow bloody pus came out. He cleaned it and put a bandage on it. A week later, it's the size of his fist and oozing yellow pus. As he told me this last night, he showed me a small spot on his right hand and said it showed up yesterday as a blister with the same yellow bloody pus.

This morning, I hear on Fox news, about this staph bacteria being found on north west coast beaches called MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. I said to myself...that's what Robert has. I called him and told him to look it up on line and get to his Doctor fast. I then thought of all the people he shook hands with and gave hugs to at the party last night including me...


OHHHHH SH_T!!!!! :0

I would think that with any bloody/pus oozing blister the size of a fist the person would not have to be told to get to a doctor fast. I certainly hope it is not MSRA that your brother has. A good friend of mine lost his entire leg to that nasty stuff.

I'm sure you're fine bro. Just keep an eye on it.
