    A similar more detailed MRSA notice was sent out our officers. The above article is the public version even though it was printed in 2006, We just recieved our notice on 1/11/2007.

    Its kinda scary, as we have to deal with homeless people every day. We get more burglaries committed by the homeless every week & having to deal with the homeless panhandling in the intersections & in front of stores every day.

    I would guess the public that stops and gives a homeless person money could even be at risk?..

    That is very scary. The article never used the term MRSA, so I didn't realize it was the same thing until I searched for more info. Wikipedia has an entry about phage therapy which sounds hopeful, but "super bugs" are still frightening.

    The scariest part is you're most likely to get this in a hospital. :blink:
