Will MRSA Kill Me?

MRSA isn’t a death sentence.

1 in 3 people in your town have the SA part which can also be a problem if you are ill or have a wound.
MRSA is more of a problem because there are less drugs to treat it not because it is always more destructive than an ordinary staph infection.
For many people incision of their skin infection is enough.
For those in relatively good health antibiotics will often cure a more aggressive infection.
Death as a result of a simple MRSA infection is rare.
Most deaths are in people with other existing illnesses.

Will MRSA kill you – probably not unless you are already quite ill.

Others are carriers for a long time but only vulnerable when they have other skin issues that the bacteria can infect. Some are carriers for a while and then shed the bacteria. Even if you get an infection it may not be as bad as your boyfriend. Some infections clear without an antibiotic. Unless your boyfriend is on vancomycin already there are other drugs that will help clear his infection.

You are at risk but it is moderate not severe. Don’t be terrified – you are unlikely to have a bad infection
