Jean and Keith--

they should be looking for an kind of
minor skin problem.

ENG#=4 VO NAT

VO NAT Here are some pictures. Symptoms can
include any kind of skin redness, boils
or absesses. It generally starts out as
small red bumps that resemble pimples.

To prevent MRSA doctors say you
should wash your hands regurlary and
cover any open cuts or wounds because
thats's where the stap infection can
enter the body.

Sometimes the bacteria remain

confined to the skin. But they can also
burrow deep into the body, causing
potentially life-threatening infections
in bones, joints, surgical wounds, the
bloodstream, heart valves and lungs.
