what is mersa infection from a bug bite and how is it treated and what meds do doctors prescribe and their individual side affects please and thank you.

     "MRSA" stands for "methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus".  This means it's a type of staph that's become resistant to the typical antibiotics that are used.  A staph infection like this can arise out of just a tiny scratch in the skin, and it tends to look like an insect bite.  When our micro lab sees "spider bite" for the diagnosis of a person who's culture we're looking at, we immediately suspect it's MRSA.  It's become very common, and it can be hospital-acquired or community-acquired.  Most hospitals now screen patients for MRSA by doing a nasal swab to see if they are carriers of MRSA, and if they are, then they're put in isolation to keep it from spreading to other patients.  MRSA is treated with vancomycin or trimethoprim sulfate.  It's not hard to get rid of, but it can be life-threatening if it infects someone who's immuno-compromised.

I just saw on TV where a couple is expecting their 20th child! Why would you want 20 kids?
Answers: 6 Views: 880 Rating: 2 Posted: 12 years ago

       Probably for the same reason my husband and I have 9 cats; we love cats, and they love kids.  I say all the more power to a couple who's got that many kids and is doing such a good job of raising them.

    Are you talking about diabetes Type 2?  If so, this is adult-onset diabetes, and is far from a death sentence.  Depending on how severe it is, you may need to start out on insulin shots or pills.  But properly managed, you'll be able to avoid complications like heart disease, neuropathy (nerve pain), glaucoma, and non-healing wounds.  I know this is going to sound crazy, but Type 2 diabetes can actually be REVERSED with proper diet and excercise.  You'll probably have a hard time finding a doctor who will admit this, because doctors count on patients allowing their illnesses to exacerbate themselves.  Otherwise, doctors would be out of business!  All you need to do is follow a meal plan that's high in fiber and low in fat (choose nutritious foods that you LIKE so it can be a permanent lifestyle and not a temporary "diet"), and find an excercise that you enjoy enough to do at least 4 times a week (mine is weightlifting).  These changes will allow your body to overcome the insulin-resistance it's acquired, and the insulin normally produced by your pancreas will stabilize your blood sugar. Soon you'll find yourself feeling great, and your body will be healing itself, with no medications or doctor-intervention required.  Good luck!

The tylenol I am talking about has codeine and caffein
Answers: 6 Views: 660 Rating: 0 Posted: 13 years ago

    What are you taking it for?  You need to get to the root of the problem.  I had foot surgery 4 months ago (which involved having bone cut away), and was prescribed Vicadin, but I never even needed 1 pill.  A lot of peoples' pain is in their mind, and doctors are way over-prescribing painkillers. Try aspirin; it's a painkiller and anti-inflammatory all in one, and doesn't have any side effects.  Remember that any medication you take has to go through your liver, and it can be damaged by these toxic substances.  I know of someone who destroyed her liver by taking Tylenol, and ended up dying of liver failure.  You can gradually wean yourself off these prescribed Tylenols; just figure out how many per day you're taking, and try to take less each subsequent day until you're off of them.  Good luck!

why is barack obama a two face liar
Answers: 12 Views: 819 Rating: 1 Posted: 13 years ago

   Sad commentary that Obama's way of "keeping the country from going all the way under" was to bail out the car makers and banks.  All of those billions, plus the billions for mortgage modifications were grabbed up by the fat cats.  But that's the Democrats for you.  Tax and spend, that'll solve all our problems.   And the housing crisis had nothing to do with "deregulation"; that was the Securities and Exchange Commission pruprosely looking the other way when Wall Street was pulling their shenaningans.  That had been going on for YEARS before the housing crash. Do some research!  And as for the war in Iraq, do you think it's any coincidence that Obama's waiting until just a year before the next election to pull out our troops?  I think not.  If a "pinched mind" means being able to see a scam artist from a mile away, well then EXCUUUUZZZE me, and my husband, my neighbors, and everybody else I associate with.

     Originally, it was so he could become president; now it's so he can be re-lected.  Thank you, Oprah Winfrey, for launching this formerly unknown bamboozler into the national spotlight, helping him get elected, and destroying this country!

What do i need to do to get full custody of a child when the mother agreed to do it?
Answers: 2 Views: 460 Rating: 0 Posted: 13 years ago

    You need to go through the courts to get legal custody, but since you have the mother's compliance, this will be a much easier process than if she was working against you.  Good luck to you!

     It's possible that the flowers weren't pollinated by bees; pollination is absolutely necessary for fruit formation.

     Kudzu is a very invasive vine that's native to southern Japan and southeast China.  When I was a teenager on family vacations, I saw a lot of it along roadsides in Georgia and Tennessee.  Please check out this website:

do you have to remove tulip bulbs in the fall
Answers: 1 Views: 332 Rating: 0 Posted: 13 years ago

     No, but the problem with leaving them in the ground is that squirrels like to eat them.  You can prevent this by covering the area the bulbs are in with wire mesh and a layer of mulch.  Also, when your tulips are done blooming, don't cut off the stalks, because they're manufacturing food that will be stored in the bulbs and used for the next year's blooms.
