A sample of these illnesses include severe skin rashes, food poisoning, pyogenic endocarditis, and suppurative pneumonia. Below I will attach two photos of skin rashes and a lung scan of acquired pneumonia due to MRSA. ]]> 2022-07-13 23:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242907321 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242907985 2022-07-13 23:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242907985 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242911313 2022-07-14 00:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242911313 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242911797 2022-07-14 00:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242911797 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242918054 There are several symptoms accompanied by MRSA that one should be aware of. For example, symptoms of MRSA in the form of a skin infection include swollen and red skin in appearance, warm to the touch, filled with drainage or pus, fever, and of course the affected area being painful. ]]> 2022-07-14 00:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242918054 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242919252 2022-07-14 00:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242919252 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242922480 Obviously, the MRSA infection is one you would definitely want to avoid. The best ways to prevent getting MRSA is to wash your hands with soap and warm water regularly, keep any cuts, burns, lesions, etc covered at all times, and seek medical attention immediately if you come in contact with MRSA. ]]> 2022-07-14 00:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242922480 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242922958 2022-07-14 00:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242922958 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242923814 2022-07-14 00:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242923814 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242925745 2022-07-14 00:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242925745 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242927967 Anyone can get MRSA, but it is most commonly seen in hospitalized patients; especially those with open wounds, catheters, the elderly, and critically ill patients. These people are much more vulnerable to the disease because they have an easier portal of entry for the bacteria to enter their bodies. ]]> 2022-07-14 00:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242927967 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242929056 2022-07-14 00:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242929056 celestec63 https://padlet.com/celestec63/24hkvj1q07zn7q6v/wish/2242933878 Although very severe, MRSA can be treated.
