Before the test results even came back, the infection had spread through her arm and eventually throughout her body within a few days. She is now in the hospital and is having surgery to remove the infected parts of tissue in her body. Her daughter will most likely need to be tested as well as a few other members of the family. This is very serious. Just touching a person with MRSA is highly contagious. Be careful and always bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer anywhere you go to be on the safe side. Always remember to WASH YOUR HANDS also! My sister had a small infection on her arm which she had tested for MRSA.

This means that she going to have to use her paid time off and maybe start using her short term disability until all orifaces are clear of the superbug. It is a seious problem.
