Re: [LM_NET] MRSA - US Link

[Barbara Braxton <barbara@IIMETRO.COM.AU>]

 Here is the link to the facts about MRSA from the Center for Disease Control and 
Prevention (US
Dep't of Health and Human Services.

http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/ar_mrsa_ca_public.html#8

Over 25% of the population have MRSA in their bodies but have no symptoms; those 
with compromised
immune systems are most vulnerable to infection; and in its 'lightest" form it 
presents as pimples
or boils.


Hope this eases some minds
