Doris, I am wondering the same thing. Is there a way to get rid of MRSA? The doctor didn’t seem to know much when I asked him questions. He just said “Read the pamphlet” I gave you.
MRSA is resistant to many routine antibiotics and often only an antibiotic by IV called Vancomycin will kill it. Once the boil is cured you can get cultured to see if you still carry the MRSA.
I am an orthopedic surgeon whose partner’s entire family had ansevere bout of MRSA infection. He found a brand new skin sanitizer which has been used in europe for years which both decolonized his family finally after attempting multiple other treatments including the scalding chlorox baths. We now use it in the office on our colonized patients. It goes on clean without residue like a hand sanitizer, but has no alcohol. It is called Stay Byotrol Clean hand sanitizer and can be found at 1800 germ cur. Good luck.
