Ok at some point when my DD has ripped open her knee for the umpteenth time down in Irvine(Champions Cup) she managed to picked up a NASTY NASTY bacteria. I have to assume it was Wed when she slid and ripped it open again since she started getting the NASY bumps on Thursday around the site of her knee wound . So of course since Kaiser didn’t know what it was the antibiotics she was given didn’t work. Yes she was contagious Thurs,Friday,Sat in Irvine. Yea we had to wait 4 days for test results.(Gotta Love Kaiser). It is very treatable with the right antibiotics. We were on field BARBER 4
Just make sure any time anything is cut open and exposed that it gets cleaned out IMMEDIATELY and not just with water and covered back up with the same bloody sock and pant. (Yes that is what my DD did..Hard Core)
Below is specifically what she had.
I have already Notified Susan and she forwarded the issue onto the City of Irvine and So Cal ASA (Like they are going to care about a PGF tournament)
What is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)? Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are a type of staphylococcus or "staph" bacteria that are resistant to many antibiotics. Staph bacteria, like other kinds of bacteria, normally live on your skin and in your nose, usually without causing problems. MRSA is different from other types of staph because it cannot be treated with certain antibiotics such as methicillin. Staph bacteria only become a problem when they cause infection. For some people, especially those who are weak or ill, these infections can become serious.MRSA infections are more difficult to treat than ordinary staph infections. This is because the strains of staph that are known as MRSA do not respond well to many types of antibiotics, which are the types of medicines normally used to kill bacteria. When methicillin and other common antibiotic medicines do not kill the bacteria that is causing an infection, it becomes harder to get rid of the infection. MRSA bacteria are more likely to develop when antibiotics are used too often or are not used correctly. Given enough time, bacteria can outsmart antibiotics so that these medicines no longer work well. This is why MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria are sometimes called "super bugs."
