Its scientific name is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It’s also known as “Staph” or MRSA.

It’s a microscopic little bugger that maims and kills if it gets into your blood stream.

Already, a high school student died in Virginia and the Governor shut down the whole school system for 12 days.

So far the only recommendation coming from the American medical community is – “Wash your hands!”

Oh, really?

For how long?

And how many times a day?

What are we supposed to do? Carry a bar of soap wherever we go? Oh, plu-ease…

What a pitiful sight… here we are, hit with one of the "early model" of “super bugs” that we have been warned about for over a decade now.

Scientists have warned us all along that with all this penicillin and antibiotic use we would one day get the kind of bacteria for which there would be no medication.

And here we are…

And what do they recommend us? WASH YOUR HANDS!

Thanks, really.

Why don’t they just admit that we do not have any protection yet against MRSA and we might just as well lit a candle, finger our prayer beads and hope for the best?...

Don’t you wish that some of the $2 TRILLION dollars that already went to the Iraq War instead went to fighting unseen killers like MRSA?
