"Apparently it's happening at Sonic speed.
I wish I knew if I needed to be as worried as I am about covid!"Not unless you are immunocompromised and intend to introduce bacteria from your skin deep into your bloodstream (assuming you even have the methicillin resistant version). Everyone has Staph aureus all over their skin and bodily orifices. It's a commensal bacterium. It's just some acquired an antibiotic resistance gene. Staph only causes problems if it gets into the bloodstream or wounds and really only then only serious for people with weakened immunity. | |||

"My grandfather lost his leg due to mrsa he contracted whilst in hospital in essex when it first started being found." Sorry to hear that. It's not something you want to infect the bloodstream or wounds of older people, for sure. | |||

" Nope it was quite nasty from what I remember, he was diabetic and went in because he had stupidly dropped something on his foot in the garage and the wound got infected then whilst he was in there he contracted mrsa as it was one of the hospitals that had massive issues with it at the start and it ended up with an above the knee amputation to save his life was scary times for the family as we where told they didn't know if they had gone high enough to stop the infection. | |||

Unfortunately, being diabetic was an extra confounding factor for infection. I hope he was able to learn to cope after the amputation. | |||

"I have a hedgehog (Nancy) in the garden, she lets me pick her up and feed her cat biscuits, every now and then I take her to the hedgehog rescue place for fluke and flea treatment. I’ve never had MRSA, but she does make me giggle when she crunches beetles and cat biscuits and often we sit on the back step marvelling at the moonlight, she snuffles a lot, I think she’s saying “dark innit ?” " Aww thats so cute  | |||

"Poor hedgehogs. If they’re not being squished by reckless drivers they’re getting a hard time on Fabswingers. #bekindtohedgehogs" Take a drive in the country during the hedgehog season and you will see the remains of thousands of them splattered across the roads. And observe just how flat they are. They must have fallen from a very great height to end up like that! The popular ‘explanation’ for these pitiful remains is that the hedgehogs have been run over by motor cars. Oh dear, oh dear. It is quite clear to me that the hedgehog, or hedge-hopping hog, as it was originally known, is a dweller of the upper atmosphere. It feeds upon flying insects and the tiny fish that inhabit the Aquasphere. The Aquasphere, as all who have read my monograph Noah’s Flood: Where all that water actually came from will know, is the mile-thick outer layer of water which prevents our atmosphere from drifting away into space. Hedgehogs, which fish in this region, float about up there, remaining aloft due to the inflated sacs of natural methane which surround their bodies. When they die, often due to punctures received during the rutting season, they deflate and plunge down to earth, exploding as they strike the Tarmac. The fact that you never see a flat hedgehog upon a soft grassy field, bears this out and proves my point somewhat conclusively, I so believe. | |||

And I’ll never skip through a field without checking for flattened hedgehogs ever again. Curse you! | |||

"Are we sure it didn't jump to humans from those hedgehog flavoured crisps that were around back in the 1990s? Might be some sort of brain eating disease like BSE? What says you Thomas? Why did the hedgehog cross that road? To see his flat mate.
