about 3 weeks ago i went to the er with a swollen thumb-i had a small cut and it had gotten infected-they cut it open and drained it-they swabbed it to take a culture gave me a shot of anti-biotics and a prescription for more ani-biotics and percocet-2 days later the doc from the hospital calls me and tells me the culture they did on me tested positive for mersa-he said it is pretty common,like 30% of americans have it-he told me if my infection wasnt healing than go to see my doc-well 3 weeks later all is good !!!
