Be careful - lot's of people think they have a spider bite when what they really have is a staph infection. Now a days, a staph infection is nothing to mess with because staph has become resistant to traditional antibiotics used to treat it in the past. In fact, people are dying due to staph infections that can no longer be treated.

A couple of summers ago, I had what I thought was a pimple on between my inner thigh and my ball sack. I went to the doctors and was treated for cellulitis - a cellular inflamation. But soon my ball sack was the size of a melon. Luckly, after a treatment with a combination of three antibotics, one of which I was allergic to and had caused a terrible skin itching that kept me awake at night, it went away.

But I have an aunt who's staph infection remained in her body and would manifest itself in different places, like in her dental work in her mouth, or in her elbow after she bashed it on something. This residual infection continued for about a year.

This guy may not have staph, but you should all know it is out there, mistaken frequently for spider bites, and can be DEADLY because the bacteria had mutated in response to the traditional antibiotic treatments.

Staph is a prime example that evolution is real!

BTW - I just read online this about "mat herpes" in Minnesota leading to a state wide ban on high school wrestling:


CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) -- An outbreak of a contagious rash called herpes gladiatorum among Minnesota high school wrestlers led the state to suspend matches and halt contact practices, authorities said Wednesday.

The eight-day suspension affecting 7,500 wrestlers on 262 teams was the first time a state's entire high school program in a sport has been shut down, authorities said.

The Minnesota State High School League acted after 24 wrestlers from 10 schools contracted the rash, which was first noticed and spread at a tournament in December.

"I think it's a bold step by our high school league to protect our athletes -- and it's better now than at post-season tournament time," said Scot Davis, the wrestling coach at Owatonna Senior High School, whose wrestling program has one of the best records in the country.

Davis said the suspension should allow infected wrestlers to recover as herpes usually disappears within 10 to 14 days. Any wrestler with the rash is barred from competing.

Herpes gladiatorum -- commonly known as mat herpes because wrestlers are particularly susceptible -- is caused by contact with the same common herpes simplex virus that produces cold sores.

A rash on the face or upper body is sometimes accompanied by itchiness, fever and sore throat, and it can cause blindness if it reaches the eyes. Some victims suffer recurring bouts throughout their lives.

A spokeswoman for the American College of Sports Medicine said it was putting together a public education campaign about how to spot and contain outbreaks.

Damn, I'll keep a close eye, thanx.
But strangely enough, since I stopped using that anti-septic baby powder, my sores disappeared. Weird.:confused:
