GUys be careful there is a serious outbreak of staff inections in the area and i watched dateline they said the gym is one of the worst places for germs. Make sure u wash ur hands a few times when in the gym to prevent colds
 
Yeah the STAFF is very infectious :)

Regards to Staph infections, just be smart, the media is hyping the MRSA I think a little too much
 
To clarify -
MRSA has been around for quite sometime.
Many people actually carry the bacteria.
EDITED TO SHOW CORRECT DATA: MRSA kills more people than AIDS as the cause of death in the US.
BUT most people who get and die from staph infections already have some type of compromised immune system, or do not get proper medical attention when needed.

DUde lesson here is wash ur hands alot. E-coli is another bacteria that can fuck u up big time and think of all those people that touch shit in the gym.
 
The gym is my worst enemy. After about a month I get sick severely, or even in mild forms sometimes. It's usually a sore throat or flu and it suck ass. I always wash my hands when I'm done working out and I never touch my face.

I just wish there was a better way to prevent myself from getting sick from the gym constantly. If this is the case then I'll never get anywhere. :(
 
what about if u wear gloves. Even though i hate gloves.

When you work out hardcore, your immune system/CNS can get weakened. Without proper rest and usage of vitamins it is alot easier to get sick. Make sure you are taking vitamins in conjunction to eating healthy, drink enough fluids, sleep and just take general care of yourself.

Almost every friday I start to get a runny nose/sore throat, Saturday I sleep late and I feel fine again.

I'll keep that in mind. It was last week I believe I started getting an itchy throat and runny nose. It wasn't sore, just itchy...probably from this whole lack of food issue. I knew I was catching something because for the past few days my throat slowly started getting worse.

Anyway, my friend told me to take benadryl and two Tylenol extra strength. It worked, my throat was fine the next morning and nothing came of it. Of course, I was late to work lol.

It may be the leading cause of death by septicaemia, but it is not the leading cause of death in the US.

This is the breakdown of death in the US as of 2002.

Major Cardiovasular Diseases

Chronic Lower Resperitory Dis.
Diabetes Mellitus
Influenza and Pneumonia
Alzheimers

Guys, I wouldn't stress too much. There is an issue with Staphylococcus aureus, mostly due to the mis-use of anti-biotics

1. People want anti-biotics when they have a cold. Anti-biotics work on bacteria, not viruses, and most colds and chest infections are from viruses

2. People do not take complete course of anti-biotics, they stop when they 'feel' better, leading to anti-biotic resistance

3. Doctors prescribe too many anti-biotics as a prophylactic (preventative treatment) in situations where it is not required.

This MIGHT be the emergence of a new superbug, but unless you are immunosuppressed, AND you have cuts etc, pick your nose or wipe your eyes when you are in the gym, I would chill out.

Your media loves the fear factor, makes for much more exciting news.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection


Written by Dr Alan Johnson, clinical scientist


What is MRSA?

Staphylococcus aureus is a species of bacterium commonly found on the skin and/or in the noses of healthy people. Although it is usually harmless at these sites, it may occasionally get into the body (eg through breaks in the skin such as abrasions, cuts, wounds, surgical incisions or indwelling catheters) and cause infections. These infections may be mild (eg pimples or boils) or serious (eg infection of the bloodstream, bones or joints).

MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is a type of Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to the antibacterial activity of methicillin and other related antibiotics of the penicillin class.

The treatment of infections due to Staphylococcus aureus was revolutionised in the 1940s by the introduction of the antibiotic penicillin.

However,, most strains of Staphylococcus aureus are now resistant to penicillin. This is because Staphylococcus aureus can make a substance called ?-lactamase (pronounced beta-lactamase), that degrades penicillin, destroying its antibacterial activity.

In the early 1960s, a new type of penicillin antibiotic called methicillin was developed. Methicillin was not degraded by ?-lactamase and so could be used to treat infections due to ?-lactamase-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Subsequently, methicillin was replaced by newer and better penicillin-type antibiotics (such as flucloxacillin) that were also not affected by ?-lactamase.

Unfortunately, shortly after the introduction of methicillin, certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus emerged that were resistant to methicillin (and also to the newer drugs such as flucloxacillin) These methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus became known as 'MRSA' for short, and although methicillin is no longer prescribed, having been replaced by flucloxacillin, the term MRSA continues to be used.

Although other types of antibiotics can still be used to treat infections caused by MRSA, these alternative drugs are mostlyy not available in tablet form and must be administered through a drip inserted into a vein or by injection.

SWEET!!!!

Also chaps, you need to remember that gear can suppress your immune system, so take some supps to boost it, like echinacea, garlic caps, B vitamins, zinc..............

I EDITED MY POST TO SHOW THE CORRECT DATA.
WOW, I am so sorry for that misquote! I reread the reference and MRSA kills more people than AIDS in the USA....That sure wasn't a good post on my part without checking references.....
 
I and others I work will laugh when we read this stuff. MRSA has been around forever and is basically passed off as nothing big in comparison to a lot of the things we come in contact with. People are walking around every day with it and you have already probably been exposed to it at the mall and just dont know that you are a carrier,
 
I had a staff infection when I was in high school.... boogie-boarding through the swamps.
Simply wash in Betadine solution every day.

Yup!

It is the media making a big deal about it.
 
In Dallas.... the media is saying that if you get a flu shot it decreases the chance you will get the staph.... and people are buying into it.
Staph is bacterial.... the flu is a virus........ gimme a break... the "sheeple" are so ignorant.
 
I'll tell you what you don't want it. Who ever is making a big deal of it should. In April of this year I got a Staph infection in my face. It started out what I thought was an in-grown hair in my nose and in less then 3 days I was admitted to the hospital. I spent 7 days there while they drained puss and shit out of my fuqing face. It was the grossest thing I have ever experienced. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I was in the middle of a Test and EQ Cycle...Let's just say that a week of lying in a hospital bed being injected with 3mg of morphine every 4 hours and 2 Perks every two hours hurt my quality gains. I felt like a crack head walking out of the hospital. They sent me home with another 60 perks.

Bottom line is staph is nasty business. I suggest doing what ever you can to prevent from ever getting it...The gym is a great place to get germs...

How did you get the infection in the first place? Do you have an idea of where you got it?
 
S. aureus is present on all human skin and up our nostrils.

AAS can supress the immune system.

There are some areas of the body that are a bit more susceptible to infection if the mucosal membrane is damaged, like the respiratory or digestive tract.

As the 'damage' was up his nose, he probably infected himself.
 
They closed a school down the road from me cause like 10 kids had staph and they thought it was the MRSA kind.

I don't know just how I got it. When I first went to the Doctor they diagnosed it as cellulites. Gave me a shot of something and some pain killers.Told me if it got worse to go to the emergency room. A day later I woke up and the whole right side of my face looked like a basketball. The pain was through the roof too.

It started as a small sore in my nose and developed into full fledge Staph infection in just a couple of days. My guess is from the discomfort and me constantly digging at what I thought was an ingrown hair I somehow infected the sore from germs on my hands.

From my understanding everyone has staph in there body but your immune system does normally wards off any major staff infection. Maybe because I was on a cycle at the time my immune system wasn't able to fight the staph infection off...

I have no idea but I certainly never want to deal with that shit again...So painful....
