One of the struggles I face is that my husband and I are both mrsa carriers and I have had 7 skin infections that require drainage in order to have a chance to heal. I have managed to drain most of them myself because they were relatively close to the the skin. Unfortunately 1 happened deep within the skin, and 1 other happened in my lip, and neither one I was able to drain myself so I had to seek medical help with those. If SHTF I would like to be able to take care of myself and potentially my family if they were to get infected areas. I'm looking at stocking up topical lidocaine for a numbing agent, gauze, and some tools but I really don't know what all I would need. Does anyone on here have mrsa prep stuff? Looking for some guidance or something. Thanks.

You DO know that MRSA isn’t responsive to antibiotics and that any infections that come out during your SHTF scenario will be lethal due to no ongoing REAL medical care. MRSA isn’t treated like a pimple. You should be asking your Physician, not the internet.

This has been on my short list of things to prep for too.
I've found this we site to be extremely informative for both staph and MRSA info. There are a few things you could keep around. And I didn't buy whatever kit they have on the site, I just read the information. I'm not affiliated, but recently had a staph infection issue in my family.

Understanding Staph and MRSA and the Infections they Cause

If you’ve never heard of MRSA or Staph bacteria before, or you have and and you’re trying to figure it all out, we've got the answers you need.

REAL medical care? Like the kind killing people wholesale now with ventilators and remdesivir?
There will be more "real" or "authentic healing medicine" because people won't be depopulating on purpose and plenty of drs and nurses didnt do "covid" and are still legit.
I think all the dancing ones get hung? Hope so.

But how do I, as a physician, tell the difference between a viable and a dependent then, so I know who to treat and who to tell "oh they still got hospital going? Right down that road where no cars are coming back the other direction. There you go"

A MRSA infection is, indeed, responsive to certain antibiotics. I know this because I contracted a MRSA infection in a surgical wound. I am still alive and kicking. I do not remember which antibiotic was prescribed; I do remember that I took double doses for several weeks. At that time I worked in the operating room so I was placed on medical leave until I had three negative tests, each two weeks apart. Since then, I have been tested several times and all were negative.

A MRSA carrier is a different situation, however. I do not know current treatment, if there is any, for that.

The statement that any infection "will be lethal" reminds me of something my former physician said to me during the p(l)andemic. He said, "If you don't take the vax, you WILL catch covid and DIE!" Well, I didn't take the vax, I haven't caught covid, and he doesn't work here anymore.

MRSA is no joke. I think most of the antibiotics that treat it are the injectable kind which somewhat complicates SHTF care.

I used colloidal silver, 500 ppm and raw unfiltered honey when my daughter got MRSA. She came home from climbing sea stacks and had a little red dot on her face. Within 2 hours it was an ulcer. It was Friday of a 3 day weekend and nobody wanted to do ER. She saw the doctor Tuesday morning. He prescribed 2 antibiotics and told us to continue the silver with the antibiotics and keep using honey as a topical. So happy it healed without scarring.

A problem with carrier status, it's affecting your organs and depleting your immune system. A nutritional blood panel will identify nutritional depletions so you can hammer down the right vitamins and minerals to overcome MRSA, then a 10 day course of colloidal silver to kill it.

Would the silver and honey regimen alone work, but take longer? Or is the prescribed antibiotic mandatory as part of the treatment?

Both silver and raw honey kill bacteria in the petri dish. Silver kills on contact, honey enzymes take time to digest bacteria. I would not use it as a stand-alone treatment, but with extreme nutritional support and only if flouroquinalones were unavailable or not appropriate for the patient due to side effects.

I really don't have volunteer lab rats willing to forgo antibiotics to see if silver and honey work to kill MRSA in their bodies.

Understood.
Just looking for SHTF answers, per the OP, that one could have on hand. But if prescription grade antibiotics are required, I tend to fall back to what Putz said.

 

[Crabby Abby]

I think strong colloidal silver is our closest thing to a magic bullet for SHTF. It kills bacteria, viruses and protozoa. I don't think neither silver nor flouroquinalones work particularly well on their own. Nutritional therapy keeps your cells plump and resistant to penetration and mitochondria in hyperdrive, and it's mostly shelf-stable stuff.

A treatment used in livestock for staph abscesses and boils is to inject salicytic acid directly into the abcess to dry it up. No drainage, no packing to contaminate the barn yard and spread the problem. I would not hesitate to use vet treatments on humans.

Wonder if that hurts? I would test a bit first to see.

 

[Crabby Abby]

Pick your pain. It already hurts like hell. Lancing and draining them hurts far worse.

Garlic is supposed to be effective for MRSA as well. Taking garlic tablets can serve many functions, or it could be applied topically for skin type infections. I just realized that I need to buy some colloidal silver for my preps though, any good brand you'd recommend?

 

[Crabby Abby]

I have Silver Wings 500 ppm from Amazon. I'm pretty happy with it.

That's exactly the kind I ended up ordering. Thanks!
