Do you remember a magazine called “Rosie” that was published a few years ago? It was some kind of tie in with Rosie O’Donnell, and it was one of my favorites, while it was still being published. I was on vacation with my kids in a beach house on the Jersey shore, and there were a few issues of Rosie in the house, so I started reading it. The very first issue I picked up was all about Rosie O’ Donnell’s hospital stay, and a nasty staph infection she caught in the hospital. I hadn’t ever heard of such a thing, and I read with great interest how this staph infection caused Rosie to almost lose her HAND!
Staph infections are big deal, because they are resistant and hard to cure. It used to be that you found them in hospitals, but they moved out of hospitals and recently, some pro football players have been found to be infected by staph. Ick! There’s a new over the counter wound care treatment called StaphAseptic, which can be used to prevent community acquired staph infections. You can find it at most major drug stores and online as well.
