At Nature Fitst Pest Control we are well aware of a new highly resistant strain of Staphylococcus. It is nicknamed MRSA, short for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It is most prevalent in nursing homes and health care surroundings. It is also common in gyms, locker rooms, military barracks,day care centers and other places where groups of people hang out.

MRSA can be carried to surfaces by insects and rodents. This is an opportunistic infection that you can get through any scratch or small wound.

These infections are often misdiagnosed as spider or insect bites. The ONLY way to know for sure is for a doctor to take a culture from the wound. It takes several days after the exposure to develope a sore that is very slow to heal.

Be advised that pets can get these sores and transfer this resistant staph infection to their owners. This happens often with therapy pets visiting nursing homes.
