    I see. I hope she heals quickly. That must be very trying for her. She's very lucky to have you! These new bacterial strains that are resistant to antibiotics are scary, indeed.

    There are two ways you can have MRSA.
    1. You can have an active infection. An active infection means you have symptoms. This is usually a boil, a sore, or an infected cut that is red, swollen, or pus-filled.
    2. You can be a carrier. If you are a carrier you do not have symptoms that you can see, but you still have MRSA bacteria living in your nose or on your skin. If you are a carrier, your doctor may say that you are colonized. These words - “carrier” and “colonized” - mean the same thing.

    More info here - great article on what to do to prevent the spread: http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/i...mrsa/book.html
