MRSA sucks ballz

so,last week at work i came in contact with MRSA. somehow,by either a insect bite or a pulled hair-i got a infection. 24 hours later,im in the ER. today i follow up with OCC health at kaiser. end result-nickle sized piece of flesh cut out of my hand. because of the high chance the infection could spread no local could be given. i really hate MRSA.
pics to come

I don't how bad your pics are, but a mod may want to put a warning on the thread title if they're as bad as those in google images.....

Hope you beat it asap!
