Sorry maven, I should have said the "complaint" instead of the "post".
i was referring to this, "We are requesting an explanation from you as to why UCSF believes gays are removed from the general population and why you believe it necessary to four times stigmatize gays in using that phrase." |

lol about the lark thing.
"there are only a few popular gyms in the areas that are described in the study. Pity that the researchers did not look into the possibility that the people they were looking at were both likely to be gym-going, and likely to go to the same gym." could be. That could explain the location of the infection also. |

Larcman you may want to do a little more research before you gleefully pronounce gays as the most likely specific population to be affected by this staph
CA-MRSA has been identified most frequently among specific populations, including prisoners, athletes, children, men who have sex with men, military recruits, Pacific Islanders, Alaskan Natives and Native Americans. In the US, two clones (strains) of staph, called USA300 and USA400, are associated with the community MRSA (CA-MRSA). Source http://www.tufts.edu/med/apua/mrsa/mrsa.html |

Larcman you can protect yourself by;
· practicing good hygiene (e.g., keeping your hands clean by washing with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and showering immediately after participating in exercise); · covering skin trauma such as abrasions or cuts with a clean dry bandage until healed; · avoiding sharing personal items (e.g., towels, razors) that come into contact with your bare skin; and using a barrier (e.g., clothing or a towel) between your skin and shared equipment such as weight-training benches; · maintaining a clean environment by establishing cleaning procedures for frequently touched surfaces and surfaces that come into direct contact with people's skin.
