[QUOTE=Jackie S;1052265361]Just to get back on point, MSRA has been floating around east Houston for quite a while. The very first indication is a small white dot that appears on the skin, leaving many to believe they were bitten by something. More times than not, it is MSRA.
Within two days your whole forarm, or similiar area, will be covered in these, along with swelling and redness, and it hurts like hell.
The clinics on the East Side use a triple antibiotic treatment that does get the job done, the only side affect being you will have the shits for about two weeks.
It went through my shop, it is extremely contageous. The doctor at the clinic gave us all a pamplet about it. Since it seems to be everywhere, there really isn't much you can do.
One thing that was remarkable, as bad as this shit looked, all red, pustules, and swelling, when it went away, there was no indication it had ever been there, No scarring at all.
Anyway, that's my report from the upper north east section of Mexico.[/QUOTE]
No kidding. Oh well, at least there's no shortage of great Mexican restaurants. Hispanics accounted for 65% of the population growth in Texas from 2000 to 2010.
