There are estimates that at this point, half the people (doctors, nurses, aides, etc) who work in hospitals are carrying MRSA even if they don't have an active infection.
Ive always practiced not taking anti biotics but other are destroying this for us.

Is yer body more able to fight off these super infections if you wernt one of the people over using anti biotics?
