MRSA

Some people asked what MRSA is. It is a staph infection that manifests itself on the skin, looking like a bug bite at first and then can get really red, hot and swollen. Most people confuse it with a bug bite. Like any infection it can get into the blood stream. Since he had pneumonia such a short while ago that could cause it to be harder to fight. Landon was lucky and his body fought it off. However, MRSA is resistant to a lot of the antibiotics so it makes it a little harder to treat.
