MRSA can be found everywhere! Take a look at how a Kansas City teenager contracted MRSA by trying to pierce his lip with a needle. He ended up with a staph infection which almost ended his life.
Zeke Wheeler of Blue Springs is recovering at Children’s Mercy Hospital after several surgeries on his knees and hips to remove the drug-resistant infection called Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection (MRSA).
Now the 15-year-old high school freshman faces heart surgery, more hospitalization and a long course of antibiotics.
If MRSA gets into the blood stream you can get an infection on the heart, pneumonia, into the bone that may require surgical intervention.
MRSA is a bacteria we’re seeing more and more frequently in communities and hospitals.
There is a lesson to be learned here. If you are getting piercings, tattoos, or anything that will expose a wound it should be done by someone who knows what they are doing and in a completely sterile environment.
