MRSA (severe staff infection) is very scary business. Two years ago my brother ,coming off a back injury from football, wrestled two tourneys and developed MRSA. After 3 weeks of going to the emergency room for a treatment in his pic line, it went away. (Vacamioson)Sp? He got to wrestle regionals (and won), stayed off of it all week and was too out of shape to do too well at state. He won his first match. We ended up going back to the emergecy room for 2 more treatments and then he started taking expensive pill called Zyvox. (very expensive), but thats what ended up clearing it up Finally. Nothing to mess with at all.
Our doctor informed us Tuesday our son was within hours of being admitted to ICU due to the very serious inflamation.
Ryan wrestled last night with a very swollen finger and was unable to accomplish much against a very talented Billy Benz from Eureka.
It is very hard to stay in wrestling shape and very easy to get out of wrestling shape.
For those unaware MRSA staph is very serious, can be deadly, and is reasonable common.
