| Re: What\'s your take on VRE, MRSA? Absolutely,, 1mg.epi.. Many patients are in the hospital before they are even cultured. Some hospitals are not isolating for MRSA any more... Those who have it have already infected the community as you say... Look closely at a shopping cart.. Also, as an aside there is some thinking and research that we are losing our immune system because we aren't challenging it.. The T-cells need a work out just as our muscle do.. Use it or lose it.. WR,,, three commas for Becca It might be the smallest creatures that do us in.. Not bombs....IMHO |

| Re: What\'s your take on VRE, MRSA? I have herd that using the home anti-biotic soaps have decreased some normal flora. And as you say the t-cells are not getting the work out due to our anti-microb world. I have had a few patients with MRSA that had NO hospital contact. |
