Grant Hill to Battle Staph Infections in Children

1. Grant Hill needs to learn about this awesome natural product called Silver Shield that kills MRSA and other infections and viruses.
It is good to know he is getting the message out to students.

3. A class act. An extremely admirable individual, one whose career after playing basketball I'll follow avidly.

5. I think it's a wonderful act of kindness for Grant Hill to take the time and energy to offer information to the general public to help eliminate a terrible , seemingly unseen and unknown disease. More people in power and wealth should do the same .
KUDOS AND THANKS TO HIM !

6. My 3 year old grandson almost died after getting MRSA in the hospital.
Hospitals are at the top of the list for spreading MRSA. People should educate themselves on what to look out for when you put your life and love ones in the hands of someone else.
Hospitals spread MRSA from room to room.
Never let the people taking your blood put their equipment on your bed of overbed table that has been placed on everyone's bed before yours.
I avoid letting the housekeeping people mop my grandsons room because they were using the same mop from room to room.
Cleaning rags as well help in the spread of this and other deseases when they clean your room.
Watch out for the beds and how well they're cleaned prior to you using them as well as the bathroom facility.

In the area where I live the patient turnover is great and the rooms are not properly cleaned.
Get that Dr, Nurse, and anyone that has to touch you to wash their hands first.

When that nurse changes that central line that goes into your neck, they must wear a mask. They will say they don't but they do.

Most of the hospitals use temporary staff and don't follow the proper protocal to prevent the spread of MRSA in the hospital. You as a patient must also educate yourself and protect yourself.

7. Cynthia, your story is alarming. I have an 8 year old son who always gets bumps and bruises being a typical boy. If I have any antibiotic cream to put on his wound I will, but if I don't I won't worry about it. When I grew up scrapes and scars were no big deal and we never used bandaids or anything like that. After reading this article and your story I will be more careful about the "typical bumps and bruises of childhood".

10. Ah, Cynthia is so right about the hospitals..
but she forgot to mention when she goes to the cafe picks up that tray, or Serving Spoon, soda machines,or push that button on the elevator,or that phone in the family waiting room, this MRAS staph. is just sitting there waiting for it's next victim.Trust Me, ITS REAL! Can't see it and can't smell it and ..list goes on & on! How bout them Groc. Carts at the Stores, or how about that dress,pants,shoes, you just tried on. if someone has MRSA, and has an open sore/cut/athelte feet,your are bound to get it, MRSA Staph Infection has no real symtoms until it Attacks! each person has different symptoms, fevers, swelling for no cause, alot of mucus from the nose,coughing,a dibetic and person on Kidney Dialis is PRON to catch MRSA Faster than anyone else..their Amune systoms is down.. Its a bactira that grows inside, even inside of your NOSE, and it FEEDS off of Antibodics.
damn if we do, damn if we don't! The way they check for MRSA is swap the nose, and blood work.
My 49yr old brother just passed away 8/15/2008 started with MRSA of his knee,he had that oper on and they said they got it all! NOT ! 6mths later, it attacked his Lungs.. by the time they found where the MRSA was feeding from , it was to late. He passed away.. Not to Scare anyone. But Wash your hands for 30seconds with soap and water, use a hand santizier when you can't use soap n water, and NEVER Try on someone elses clothes..it's in the GYM,GROC STores,Dept Stores,DayCare,Nursing Homes,Hosp,JAILS,
SCHOOLS,Resturant..etc.. this is no joke. take all precautions, SERIOUS! use bleach, dilute it with a little water to wash your home,the kids toys, adult toys, list goes on. Carry Hand Santizer with YOU!!
Thank You,from Maryland ..

11. The dude who was in ENGLAND...
You can't always SEE MRSA.. it doesn't always come in pimple/boil looking spots... a peson who takes Insulin can contrat the MRSA from one of the injection holes, and the Spot where they had the injection may not turn into a Boil, pimple, ...MRSA can come on the skin looking like a bad rash..
and or there is no signs of it at all .. cause it grows in your nose also!! I got my information from an INFECTIONUS DOCTOR who treated my brother with MRSA ..but it was to late for my brother.. he passed away , MRSA Attacked his LUNGS and there was no stopping it. NO Rash, No Pimples, No Boils... only his Insulin injections area, not even red...but they did bruise up really dark. that's how they found it..but it didn't attack his stomached where the injections went...it attacked his KNEE first .. they oper. on it in Feb 2008, and again March 2008, they thought they got it all until he went back in the hosp August 2nd with a fever .. they found it growing in his Lungs. .No Symptoms, No Smell, can't always see it growing ... Great Job Grant...
Getting this information out and about to the WORLD may stop the MRSA from spreading making people sick and killing some.

14. My 2 year old daughter was diagnosed with MRSA after a boil showed up on her butt. She was kept in isolation for a month because it was contgious and at the time I was pregant.It was very hard to see my baby like that and not understand what the hell MRSA was and where it came from. She was not in school and she was always home. But u can be the cleanest person in the world and germs still can be present in your house. I use all the cleaning products on the shelves yet my daughter still gets sick. What can I do?

15. I am a nurse working in a 350 bed hospital.I will tell you folks, that mrsa is everywhere. We culture the nares of all patients admitted to our floor. Approx. 50 percent of patients test positive. Most are suprised when they are informed of their test results. They are treated and educated on how to prevent it from spreading. Mrsa is everywhere, not just in the hospitals. Handwashing is very important.
Also,making sure those individuals that are diagnosed with mrsa understand the importance of completing their course of treatment. True patients have died from becoming septic involving infections in blood,urine,lungs, and skin. Especially the elderly in nursing homes that are bedridden or already have bedsores. We voluntarily had our nares cultured to see in we were colonized with mrsa. Most of the staff tested negative. I applaud Grant for taking a stand to help irradicate mrsa.
