MRSA - a killer bacteria

Is this engineered?
We've had it in the UK for years now - noone wants to have any open surgery any more, it even happens via dentists.
Copper taps, copper door knobs seem to kill it off.
Wash your hands! Frequently! I got a special squirty cleaner and did all round my mum's bed, under chair arms, everywhere - whilst she was in hospital.

Too many antibiotics used every day - what a mistake. Dr Lorraine Day says exactly that!

Don't know if it's engineered, but it's a problem in the US, too, in hospitals. MMS should handle it, but what hospital is going to use MMS?

In Canada we have had huge C-DIFF ( Intestinal disorder sometimes causing death ) cases in hospitals and nursing homes and they were not able to pinpoint how people were getting it till recently . it was in all the drain pipes and anytime water splashed out of the drain from excess water pressure people were getting infected

I have worked in care homes for a few years now and have noticed a strange thing about mrsa.

Smokers rarely contract it, it is so noticeable that if i hear that someone has it, i proclaime that they are non smokers, it shocks a few people that i can tell without ever meeting them that they in fact do not smoke.

I wonder about smoking.
Have you noticed that smokers hardly ever get colds??
Give up smoking and you get a cold

Maybe there is a reason they want everyone to give up smoking??

Cough cough cough gasp! I don't often get colds but I get terrible bronchial infections. My own fault entirely
