Thread: MRSA VIRUS A THREAT TO OUR CHILDREN

I recently attended a teacher's conference at our public school in which all parents were given a warning about MRSA virus. There is no mention of this being a flesh eating virus and it is only referred to as a staph infection. I am wondering how many parents are not taking this serious and have thrown the paper away and don't even know what this really is. A staph infection does not sound as bad as a flesh eating virus. This is very disturbing to receive such information and even think about the possibility that your children could be at risk. Why are these 3rd world diseases in our public schools in the first place. My children are required to have a physical upon entrance to school not to mention vaccinations. Are children from these 3rd world countries not required to have these physicals or vaccinations?

The paper states, "Much attention has been given regarding the MSRA virus in the news media. I would like to share a few facts with you regarding this medical threat and what we are doing at -----------. First, MRSA is a staph infection that is very resistant to the anti biotic treatment. Fortunately, it is also very rare. While there is a case of possible MRSA in the state, there have been no cases reported in this county or surrounding counties. Physicians are required to report MRSA to their county health department. Please instruct you child to wash his hands frequently and to not share drinks or food. Doing these basic and simple practices will help keep our students healthy."

Sometime I will explain why we are seeing MRSA breaking out in general populations...but a quick clue is remember stories about how the indigenous populations(jungles of South America), now and than... When they came into contact with foreigners...they had flu or other outbreaks and died...because they had no immune system to the new germ/virus....now think we are indigenous to areas...and we have all these newcomers ...our bodies can not build the fast immunities....I saw it happen on a reservation in the middle of nowhere...total population 98....4 died from staph called necrotizing fasciitis...in a 3 month period...Globalism has its fall outs

When my older two started school they required a physical and vaccinations. However, if you were low income, you could opt out until they went to middle school.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a plain old staph (SA) infection that inpatients catch in hospitals all the time, especially persons with compromised immune systems. The main difference between staph and MRSA is that the latter is a genetic variation which is resistant to standard oral antibiotics. We can treat the symptoms, but we can't cure it; we can only keep patients with MRSA isolated from the general hospital population. People may die quickly or live a long time with methicillin-resistant staph. But if admitted to a hospital, they must register as MRSA-positive so that they can be placed in isolation.

Alcohol cleans staph, including MRSA, from surfaces.

Wiki has a good article on MRSA.
Medicinenet has a better article on MRSA, but it is more technical.

A rarer type of MRSA is Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA or VISA), which is a staph infection sometimes present in hospitals that resists even IV vancomycin and teicoplanin, as well as penicillin and methicillin.

Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus, or VRE, is an unrelated intestinal bacteria found in hospitals and in densely-cooped chickens.

All of these are primarily nosocomial infections, a bug caught during a hospital stay.

I had never thought about illegal aliens being carriers of MRSA, VRSA, or VRE. But it makes sense, because they have not been checked for TB, HIV, or any of the rare South American diseases that were unknown in the U.S. until recently.

I hope no one is so naive as to take this as gospel. A patient is on his or her honor to register as MRSA-positive upon admission. An illegal alien probably has never heard of MRSA, much less know if he has it. Many people are asymptomatic, carrying MRSA while presenting no symptoms.

And physicians? Five minutes with a patient and a doctor is supposed to recognize a disease that the patient doesn't know how to describe in English, or doesn't even know about? This is especially the case among illegal aliens, where each patient probably has other diseases muddying the waters and confusing the diagnosis, including diseases eradicated in the U.S. population. The expensive lab work required to identify rare South American diseases, including sending samples to Mayo for ID, can put a hospital in the red in a hurry.

BTW, MRSA is not a virus; it is staph, a bacteria.

Has anyone heard the recent news about AIDS----that has been reported on Fox and through other sources??? They believe that it was brought into the country by Haitians. I am assuming ILLEGAL Haitians-----as those who came in through LEGAL channels would have to go through health checks!!

Key HIV strain 'came from Haiti'

By Neil Bowdler
Science reporter, BBC News

The strain of the HIV virus which predominates in the United States and Europe has been traced back to Haiti by an international team of scientists.

I think my it took 30 days or something like that for my hubby's health check.
A lot of aids could be spread in that time period

From what I've read, this is rampant in Mexico. They are also handed antibiotics over the counter with no prescription necessary. Overuse of antibiotics has been responsible for the mutation of virulent viruses.

I've been thinking lately that wouldn't it make sense that if someone lived where it was commonly contracted, that the human immune system would build up its immunity. If it was introduced into a population where it is not, nor has not been prevalent, that those who have not had the chance to be exposed would be suseptable; whereas those who had their immune systems adapted would not be affected.

This has spread from California, to the East Coast slowly, but was a huge problem in California first.

The news media is not allowing coverage, but if you go online you'll see people from all over posting about how their states and their schools have been infected. Just another thing the controlled media doesn't want us to know? Makes sense doesn't it.

WHAT? You have got to be kidding. I grew up in a low income family (though the salary scales would have disagreed back then) and we were not allowed to enter/return to school unless our vaccinations were completed--there was no "opt out" available. And you'd better believe our vaccinations were done without interrupting our class time. What in the world is happening? Why are they putting this nation's children and adults at risk?
