[QUOTE=BigHardOne]Avoid Mandy on BP. She is covered in MRSA;
[url]http://columbus.backpage.com/FemaleEscorts/mandy-is-always-here-4-u-26/5035348[/url][/QUOTE]MRSA is a form of bacteria that resists antibiotics. It isn't anytthing you can see.
Please explain your statement. Did I misinterpret?
Nday Guy is correct. MRSA IS a bacteria that resists infection and cannot be identified by sight. HOWEVER, especially in IDUs, a commonly misidentified sore often is referred to as MRSA because their abcesses often infect with the MRSA bacterium. It is actually an abcess that starts out looking like a pimple and progresses to look more like a boil with substantial "hard-to-the-touch puffiness" around the pus filled core and then to a fairly large open sore. These can be relatively "uncomfortable" and spread very easily. Most often these are seen on the extremities and upper body (such as underarms). Once the open sore is present, MRSA often enters the body through the open sore. (Again, especially in IDUs where the exposure is so prevelant).
Now, trust me when I say you really don't want to come into direct contact with these. And you most definately do not want to take these abcesses home to wifey and/or kiddies!

I did not doubt you even one little bit. BUT, over the past 2-3 years this has become more and more prevelant. Almost exclusively amoung IDUs and SWs. I thought I'd give a bit more descriptive explanation so other mongers can recognize it immediately on sight. There is no question in my mind that this is what you saw and that you are probably 100% correct in your "diagnosis".
I apologize if it appeared as though I was correcting you. My only additional comment is that for this to be MRSA/Abcesses, there does not need to be numerous ones grouped together. MANY times you will find only one on the trunk or extremeties and it (all by itself) is just as contageous as a group such as what were likely seen by BigHard.

My only concern was because I touched it and just completely freaked once I saw what I was touching. I just couldn't understand how others have missed it being that the whole infected area was so large and unmistakable.
What will happen to someone if they come in contact with it. I was with a girl a while back. We didn't have sex, but just oral? i haven't any signs but it's been about 3 months. Does it get into blood stream? I was rubbing her when i discovered it.
MRSA or Methycillin Resistant Staph Aureus is an anitbiotic resistant form of Staph Aureus, which we all carry on ours skin as what is called normal flora.
66% of us now carry MRSA on our skin as normal flora without being sick or infected. Our body's immune system keeps it in check like like any other bacteria.
People who have MRSA infections are usually ill or compromised in some other way. They may have other concurrent infections that affect or overwhelm the immune system like syphillus or aids. It can be an allergic reaction that gives the bacteria the opportunity to infect. It can just be poor health, hygine or lifestyle that enables the infection. It's very similar to something we used to call impetigo.
It's not a question of avoiding it, 2/3's of us already have it on our skin normally. I'm saying that the context in which we encounter this infection should suggest that there are other problems involved that we don't want to take home.
If your provider has a raging MRSA infection, it's probably not her only health problem.
Be carefull, look at what you're doing and always, always take precautions.
Life is full of risks, but don't take really stupid ones.

Thank you for your information on mrsa. It is a scary subject. But making us aware of just one of the dangers involing mongering. Be safe!!! and most of all thank's to the gentilmen who reported the lady who has it.

I tried to research this more on the internet. Oddly, it was very hard to find any pictures of it. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong places. I am going to try and attach the two pictures I was able to find.
One thing really caught my eye when I was reading about it. MRSA is most suseptable to people that already have a deficient immune system. It then went on to make a point that MRSA is common for people that are HIV positive or have AIDS. That one really got me thinking and more concerned about my incident. Embarressing as it is, I'm going to the doctor.
Niterider, I have no way of knowing but I would at least feel less concerned if it's been three months. Maybe someone else knows the answer for sure.
The other photo won't upload but I can tell you that what is in the picture posted here was nothing compared to what I saw on Mandy.
If you want pictures of MRSA just go to google, click "images" and search MRSA infection. It looks like any other skin infection because thats exactly what it is. It's just resistant to antibiotics.
Chances are that you have already carried it on your skin. 66% of us do.
If you are healthy with intact skin, you won't be infected with MRSA.
My message is don't be afraid of MRSA, be afraid of what often lives with it.
While your looking, search "syphilitic chancre." We all should know what those look like and be looking out for them.
Again, always always use protection.
It's Ok to take chances in life, just don't get really stupid about it.

Has the potential to be extremely useful, but is getting off to an unusual start. As a final (I hope) thought on the MRSA subject, might I suggest you check with the Backpage link below. You'll find information including a picture of Roxanne and at the end of it is a direct hyperlink to her roommate, Mandy, with her pictures. I'm not a physician, so I'm not saying Roxanne does or does not have this or that, but she DID exhibit similar symptoms awhile back (and I would presume still does) she was an IDU (and I presume she still is) and she was Mandy's roommate. Niteryder, I think I remember you saying on the SW thread that Roxanne spent a night or two with you, so I would think you might want to get checked just to be on the safe side.

But this CANNOT be the only report we have for girls on Backpage!! This one for example gets ME excited just to think about it. Anyone got information on her??

Any thoughts?
Sorry Squirrel, just answering a question where it was asked.

You're right, there is another place just for this subject.
