Do you know if they're more prevalent in some seasons than others?
I don't. Once you have read the first link in my post, you know as much about Loxosceles Reclusa spiders as I do.

Although, I was told today they're bringing in someone from the CDC tomorrow to look at him. That didn't sound good to me.
Its not. My husband's uncle died from it (sorry to say this) but he was a smoker in his 70s so he wasn't in as good of health as he could have been.
Uncle Fred went to the hosp the day after a bowling tournament. The CDC hauled him team and the other teams he played into the hospital. And basically quarantined the bowling alley for a day. Nothing was found.
They assumed he got it doing yard work.
I don't know what strain it was.
call the doctor and remind him of this drug and tell him that he does research on it.
What are you talking about? MRSA is just a strain of staph that's resistant to most antibiotics (specifically, methacillin). It doesn't have to present in the way you describe at all. My sister had it, she had none of the symptoms you describe. She thought it was cured and then stupidly slept in the same bed as my niece and gave it to her.TBH, if he does have MRSA, he is most definately not fine. I can assure you that. MRSA presents with boils and blisters all over the skin, and constan vomitiing and i think eventually organ failure. If your dad is fine at this point, im not convinced its MRSA.

It's a pain in the ass, but you just have to figure out what antibiotic will kill it.
Mrow, is your father seeing an infectious disease specialist?

MRSA / S.aureus can enter the normally sterile blood stream either from a local site of infection (wound, ulcer, abscess) or via an intravenous catheter (placed there for their medical care). Bacteraemia describes the presence of MRSA / S.aureus in the blood. Septicaemia can follow and is the clinical term for a severe illness caused by the bacteria in the blood stream. The symptoms are not specific to MRSA and can be the same for other bacteria that cause septicaemia. Typically symptoms can include high fever; raised white cell count; rigors (shaking); disturbance of blood clotting with a tendency to bleed and failure of vital organs. This is the kind of MRSA infection that has the highest death rate.

Well, sure. But he was saying that unless mrow's father had septicemia he didn't have MRSA. Which is, of course, not true.Orbit is describing a septicemic staph infection, the most serious form.
