Anyway, it's an item in yesterday's Times about MRSA, particularly in the SF and Boston gay communities. A different take on the same subject: http://www.observer.com/2008/tearoom-trade-2008

I guess I was lucky that the antibiotics worked for me but I don't think any kind of staph infection is to laugh at. It is very painful and very unsightly. I got it all over my thighs which made it EXTREMELY painful to where I was almost in tears trying to put on pants or let alone walk just a few feet to the bathroom and it was difficult to ride the scoot. I'm not sure where I picked this up but my guess at my old company we were across the street from you guessed it (maybe) a hospital. Everyone take care of yourselves especially if you are of the older generation or have a weakened amune system. Hugs, Greg
