Virulent Staph and Strep By Todd Schafer Be on the look-out for particularly virulent (toxic) strains of staph and strep. Staphylococcus and streptococcus are two infectious bacteria that can, and more commonly these days, become life and limb threatening. Largely due to the indiscriminate usage of antibiotics these days where a doctor over prescribes pills to treat "just in case", massively resistant strains of infectious bacteria have now been turned loose on the public. Methicillin resistant staph aureus, or MRSA as it's more commonly referred to is an emergency. The problem with these virulent bacteria is that can progress quickly, literally eating the flesh from your limbs. MRSA has become increasingly common in both hospitals and around sports teams. An alarming trend for sure, and if you notice a cut that starts to turn wicked over a short period of time with fever/chills and pain; be sure to see a doctor right away. It could literally save your life.
