		<description>I got what appeared to be a regular spider bite on my leg around 2 weeks ago, and i&#039;ve never had a pretty bad spider bite. I&#039;m more used to mosquito bites and since i am allergic to mosquito bites i am used to the swelling and redness of skin. The &quot;bite&quot; turned to a small pimple type thing and the redness was gone, so i though it was gone and popped it. The next day it came back, and of course popped it again. -Repeat 2 more days. 

Then it started to scab. I thought it would last a while and dry out. But its been 2 weeks and the original sore is about the size of a dime and after i shower the scabbing comes off and clearly i have a crater on my leg. Also in the last week i got another about 3 inches above the other and i did NOT tamper with that one it still manages to leak out some clear fluid and it has stayed pretty much the same size. I was doing peroxide washes, and also lime juice washes that seem to ease itching and also dry out the sore. It has been clearing the sores really well on one leg and i was pretty sure it would be gone withing a week.

 Today i noticed another white &quot;pimple&quot; on my opposite leg and since I&#039;m in the gym everyday i thought it was nothing more than a sweat pimple. So i popped it thinking there&#039;s no way whatever this is can travel through my body to this leg. And it&#039;s already swelling up. I&#039;m going to the doctor ASAP which is tomorrow, and i hope this goes away. I haven&#039;t gone yet because, again, i&#039;m used to swelling and blistering from insect bites, but i decided to do some research today and it&#039;s pretty scary knowing what can potentially happen if left untreated.</description>

		<description>Not all staph infections can come from a spider bite or any other bites.  How about chicken juice?

Told as understood from the doctors at the ER:

I had some kind of cut or scratch at the cuticle area around the nail on my hand.  I was cooking chicken for dinner that night.  I ate dinner washed my hands like always and my boyfriend and  I watched a movie.  I fell asleep during the movie and when I woke my finger already started to swell.

Over that night my finger swelled to about an inch or more around and felt very tight.  I had thought I may slept on wrong anything other than the worse.  I had a remaining portion of antibotics and pain meds left from when I was sick a couple of months earlier.  I started to take those that night.  I was in high hopes that it would go away the next day and it didn&#039;t.  It become worse.  

I decided I better go to the emergency room as I didn&#039;t want it to get any worse.  The looked at my finger and gave me shots at the base of my finger to release some pain as they lanced my cuticle.  When they lanced it puss shot out and they drained it.

The ER Doctor told me that the juice from the chicken got into the sore and started the staph infection.  He told me that because I already started the antibiotics in the beginning that it didn&#039;t get as worse as it could have.  For it to completely heal, it took about 4 weeks.

However, my finger does look a little odd and slightly bigger from the infection.  

If there are any signs, then I would strongly suggest going to the doctor or even an emergency care facility.  The sooner it is treated the better</description>

		<description>4 years ago I got bit by something.  I have no photos, but looks a lot like the above pictures.  It became infected and I ended up in the hospital with MSRA.  Now this year I have had 4 outbreaks looking just like the photos.  

All 4 times I had cultured and they were MSRA.  The last time I had one in July and was so sick I ended up in  the hospital for over 8 days.  My folic acid was extremely low, I had anemia very bad and a liver infection from the MSRA.  I lost my job due to the time off of work and the fact that it is contagious.  

My thought is that the bite is not the worse thing but getting an infection that develops into MSRA.  I have talked to numerous specialists and they all say I will develop this again.  I have 2 small children at home so I have to be very careful about them getting this.  

I disinfect my bathroom daily with Clorox especially when I brush my teeth or use the toilet.  My kitchen has to be disinfected also.  Also, do not let your children sit on your bed or use your personal towel or any personal items you use.  I also have to wash my body daily with a special soap that removes the MRSA from my skin to be less contagious to other people.  A person can die from MRSA because it attacks your body.  I don&#039;t know the solution and neither do the doctors.   Good luck.</description>

		<description>thanks soo much for this post. I recently got bit by what i think was a spider. im not sure though. i went to the doctor today and she said its infected. they took a culture so ill have to wait until that comes back. right now im on 2 antibiotics, one for staph infection and one for strep (idk how you get strep in your elbow). once the culture comes back, i will only have to take one antibiotic. i hope my bite doesn&#039;t get to the point at which ill need surgery. :/ thanks again.</description>

		<description>well I don&#039;t know how I got staph but it was extremely painful. I noticed on my side along my bra line under he arm a small pink bump. I didn&#039;t think anything of it. Figured it was a mosquito bite from being at my son&#039;s football games. Well I went to my dr for an unrelated problem about a week later. In that time I thought I was getting the flu. At the dr office my temp was 103 and I said on by the way can you look at this thing on my side. He immediately said that was where the temperature was coming from. He said it wasn&#039;t cellulitis or a boil. there wasn&#039;t any drainage or a head on it. He put me on 875 Augmentin and 500 amoxicillian twice a day. I was off work the next two days and then that weekend it started to drain brownish stuff. I went back that Monday and he immediately sent me to the ER. They had a surgeon put me under twilight and cut it out. It was staph. I am still getting it packed and cleaned everyday. i went back to work this week after two weeks off. It doesn&#039;t hurt but it&#039;s going to take at least a month more to heal. It is five inches deep and four inches wide. My Dad is going to pack it for me as the nurses no longer do it once you go back to work. Boy am I glad I showed the dr that day. It was hot to the touch. He said it was either a bug bite or a hair follicle but I don&#039;t have any hair there since it is well below my arm pit!</description>

		<description>I discovered a spot just under my left breast in late June of 2007 this spot eventually became a staph infection which spread from my breast to my stomach. On my stomach I now have a scar the size of a silver dollar and that has no feeling at all. I learned the hard way that if you contract MRSA do NOT pick at the &quot;pimples&quot; trying to pop them. That only gives the staph a chance to spread quicker. 

It is best to go to the Dr and be treated but if for insurance reasons this is not an option then coat the area in Neosporin and continually clean with Peroxide and some sort of saline solution..most importantly keep it thoroughly coated with Neosporin and keep it wrapped because it can be contagious...my husband had the staph first and was told by our family doctor that it is contagious and can be easily spread by contact. I never want to feel that kind of pain again...ever...I would rather go through childbirth again.</description>
