2 million in U.S. may carry drug-hardy germ; infections on the rise
By LAURA BEIL
The first nationwide statistical snapshot of a worrisome infection estimates at least 2 million people in the country may be silently carrying a potentially dangerous bacterium. And a second study reports that the germ appears to be creeping into hospital patients at a steady pace.
The studies are the latest clues to the behavior of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. Since its appearance in the general population in 1999, the infection has already become notorious for illness among inmates, children and professional athletes. Last September, MRSA spread among Katrina evacuees at a shelter in Dallas. The St. Louis Rams battled an outbreak that affected five players, who apparently passed the infection to members of the San Francisco 49ers. continue reading this indepth news report
Side note from Gold of the Gods Young Living Convention in 2005:
There are 2,000,000 reported hospital acquired infections every year and 100,000 people die from this. Essential oils have been studied and proven effective against the common hospital-induced, antibiotic-resistant infection, MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus). In a study cited, 22 out of 25 cases were resolved with essential oils. In vitro studies showed these oils to be effective: cinnamon, geranium, peppermint, orange, grapefruit, patchouli, lavender, lemongrass, thyme, spearmint, lemon myrtle, clove, mountain savory, and eucalyptus radiata.
