An extremely contagious infection has been causing headlines lately. MRSA is a form of staph infection, but worse. It is antibiotic resistant and can be spread just by touching something someone infected has touched. We are going to talk about the MRSA infection and also get into the best treatment for mrsa especially during the winter months.

Most MRSA infections occur in people who were in hospitals or other care centers. MRSA infections are usually associated with invasive procedures or devices, such as surgery, intravenous tubing or artificial joints. However, the MRSA infection has spread into normal places outside of hospitals and the first sign of infection is the occurrence of a hot spot on the skin. In the case of this infection, the risk factors are crowded places because it spreads quickly and is contagious.

Staph skin infections, including MRSA, generally start as small red bumps resembling pimples or spider bites. They can quickly turn into deep and painful abscesses, requiring surgical drainage. Sometimes bacteria is limited to the skin, but can also penetrate the body causing infections in bones, joints, heart valves and lungs.

In cold weather, these infections are very painful and treatment for mrsa requires more time.

Both bacteria contacted in hospitals and those contacted in everyday life respond to certain antibiotics. There are also cases when an antibiotic treatment is unnecessary because doctors prefer to drain the abscess surgically. However, the healing process is lengthy and the cold weather of winter slows this process.

The good news is that there are a number of natural remedy treatments for MRSA that work faster even if it’s winter.

Let’s see how to treat MRSA in the winter using some natural remedies:

– Follow a diet based on magnesium. Magnesium is considered to be effective to treat the MRSA bacteria. Good sources of magnesium are pumpkin seeds, spinach, Brazil nuts, cereals, halibut, quinoa, almonds and soy.

– Pay attention to hygiene. Hygiene is an essential factor in the fight against this bacteria, especially in winter, when cold can slow the healing process. Clothes and hands should always be clean and disinfected.

– Insert in your diet natural antibiotics that will accelerate healing and scarring. One such antibiotic is garlic which has several antioxidants that kill bacteria and free radicals, protecting the immune system.

– The most effective (and also delicious) antibacterial agent comes from Australia and New Zealand and is called Manuka honey. Researchers have found that this kind of honey has the ability to kill a series of deadly germs, including MRSA.

– Tea tree oil is another natural remedy that has shown amazing results in treatment for MRSA. It has the power to cure fungal infections, bacteria and wounds. Apply a few drops on the affected area and cover it with a bandage. In a few days you will see the results.

MRSA bacteria is dangerous and spreads very quickly. It is advisable to consult a doctor in order to have the best results and to prevent recurrences.
