Guest comedian Samantha Hale joins the SDS podcast to learn about how easy it is to catch this potentially dangerous disease. 🦠 Don’t worry, it’s still hilarious According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 5% of the population chronically carries the type of staph bacteria known as MRSA or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Antibiotic resistanceis the result of decades of often unnecessary antibiotic use. For years, antibiotics have been prescribed for colds, flu and other viral infections that don't respond to these drugs. Even when antibiotics are used appropriately, they contribute to the rise of drug-resistant bacteria because they don't destroy every germ they target. Bacteria live on an evolutionary fast track, so germs that survive treatment with one antibiotic soon learn to resist others.
Have you ever gotten MRSA?
