Lousy technique, that’s all I can say.
Yes, it got the job done, but some basic antiseptic precautions would have been smart.
This video is the best argument I have ever seen against “intelligent design”.
What… I’m sure they held that needle over the flame of a Bic lighter for a few seconds before they started.
I saw a video on You Tube that had a title along the lines of “MRSA ALERT!” It wasn’t an abscess, but a sebaceous cyst that a young man had on his shoulder, and his friends were lancing it with an X-Acto knife! :eek: :eek: :eek: If he didn’t have MRSA then, he almost certainly did afterwards.
I spent the morning of 9/11 having one of those removed from my scalp. The doctor himself admitted that he thinks those things are gross.
I didn’t see anyting MRSA-like in the video, and I watched the whole thing.
MRSA (and MSSA) skin infections manifest mainly as boils and abscesses. That lesion was neither. It didn’t look infected at all.
Not all skin abscesses are MRSA these days. Heck, in my office, nearly half of them are still MSSA.
