RSA is a highly contagious Methicillin-Resistant
Staphylococcus Aureaus infection that is spread through direct
skin-to-skin contact with an infected individual or contaminated
surface.
The infection is highly prevalent on those with compromised
immune systems, the infection though can still be contracted
by anyone who comes into contact with the contagion.
The Staphylococcus Aureaus is more commonly named as “staph”
and was first isolated in the 1880s where the result of its
attack on the body includes boils, scalded-skin syndrome and
impetigo. Left untreated, the infection can lead to serious
blood induced diseases leading to pneumonia in many instances.
By the late 1950s, the staph became resistant to penicillin
and to counteract such resistance, methicillin was introduced
to combat the penicillin resistant infection. But in 1961,
it was discovered that Staphylococcus Aureaus had become resistant
to both penicillin and methicillin, thus giving rise to the
contagion known as MRSA.
The following are some of the symptoms if you have become
affected by the MRSA Contagious agent.
- You develop a rash or skin infection, called cellulitis.
These manifest themselves as MRSA contagious agents in the
form of small red bumps or lumps and they progressively
grow within the next few days, with formations that come
up as the days pass.
- The lumps grow to as much as twice its original size in
a day and the redness spreads from the formation and location
of the lump. The usual areas where the lumps appear are
on the inside of arms, the neck, back and inner thighs.
- You then develop a fever as soon as the lumps appear and
the areas where the lumps are clustered are hot to the touch.
This is because of the inflammation of the area as the bacteria
attacks the host.
- The affected skin areas are hot, painful, itchy and swollen.
The skin breaks allowing for the dispersion of the MRSA
contagious bacteria and opening the skin to other contagion.
The lumps and bumps that appear upon the onset of the staph
infection contain pus that is very rich in bacteria. MRSA
contagious bacteria fill these bumps of blisters called impetigo
while boils are hair follicles filled with pus. Abscesses
are the large formations of pus accumulated under the skin
while sties are infections of the eyelid gland.
One characteristic of the bacteria is that it breaks down
skin and tissues allowing other bacteria and germs to enter
the bloodstream causing major infection in the other organs
of the body. When the MRSA contagious bacteria reach the lungs,
the result would be pneumonia, shortness of breath and mucus
formation. This together with the other infections that the
body undergoes would severely weaken the body and have fatal
results in a short time.
MRSA usually inhabits certain settings where a congregation
of people live in, such as dormitories, correctional facilities
and day care centers. The first way to avoid contracting the
MRSA contagious bacteria is avoid frequenting places where
they have been most commonly seen. If this is unavoidable,
one way to prevent its spread is using external anti-infection
compounds that disinfect the skin. Another way to prevent
its occurrence is by supplementing your immune system with
medication and vitamins. The best precaution against the dreaded
MRSA bacteria from affecting you would be by prevention, proper
hygiene and healthy living.
