Harmless bacteria that people carry on their skin, has now suddenly becomes a dangerous predator immune to antibiotics, chemical wash and antiseptic is threatening us all.

Swine flu is here and is likely to get worse. We know secoundary bacterial infection associated with Swine flu kills. Based on reserch, we know children who died last year due to common flu infection were due to co-infection with MRSA.

"Hospital organization, specialty mix and MRSA" published (www.dh.gov.uk/publications) their finding and makes it clear high bed occupancy rates, temporary staff or low cleanliness scores no longer have significantly higher MRSA rates.

Inadequate hand hygiene by healthcare workers and in-effective antiseptics and dis-infectanta are contributing to spread. "Clean your hands campaign" may have loosened the previously observed link between measured environmental cleanliness and MRSA.

Staphylococcus bacteria commonly carried on the skin around 30% of the general population. MRSA bacteria at any one time and spread through people having close contact with infected or colonised people. People carrying MRSA on their skin can inadvertently become infected through the spread of those bacteria into their body or introduced (during procedures) into the bloodstream resulting in "Bacteraemia" and death.

MRSA enters a normally sterile blood stream through intravenous cannulae, catheter or a local site (cuts, puncture sites, wounds) of infection. MRSA is almost always spread through physical contact, rather than through air or water. To reduce the rate further, it would be sensible to stop using ported cannulae (banned in USA due to high infection rate) and reduce the number of attempts taken to introduce cannulae. Multiple puncture sites will allow the MRSA to colonize and enter blood circulation resulting in bacteraemia and death.

Please watch this video, learn what and how bacteria enters your body and be prepared....

  • I have stopped replying to comments but must tell you that things are getting worse and faster than I anticipated. You can see how the Swineflu is targeting younger population and they kill. Now we have about 12 bugs waiting to attack.

    Gonococcus (STD) is spreading rapidly in the last 2 yrs. The problem with these infections is many have forgotton how to diagnose them. You may be infected without knowing, girls wont even know. Read more about all these, this is not a joke, its your life...

  • Wow. How damaged are you. I'm so, so sorry.

  • @zer0ne83 Certainly not as much as you.

  • can you make a longer one with more info and preventative info and a vo? hospitals down play mrsa ca. they tell people it's a soft tissue infection. when it may not be.

  • Good idea, Thanks for the request. I will update this with more information to educate nurses and patients. I have published few videos that may be of use, please check them out. Medifix

  • Wow..

    You come across as an paranoid hypocondriac.

    Yes there are small risks of catching all manners of diseases in all manner of ways. But the risk is so small that there is no point in adjusting your life to it.

    Rid yourself of the fear, enjoy the one life you got instead of trying to prolong a mental suffering as long as possible,

  • Wait till your family or you get this infection, then you will know what I am talking about. I am not scared of these bugs because I have worked as a doctor treating people and mainly babies.

  • this video is cute. . the staphylococcus aureus look cute in the beginning. lol

    otherwise very educative thanks!

  • @Zpik3 I agree that the body can handle infection in normal everyday life but the point this video is making is that in the hospital environment mrsa is deadly, hence why he has replied about infections he has seen as a doctor.

  • We never had this problem back in the days when hospitals smelt of carbolic.

  • this is some scary shit!
