Yep, IN my nose. Hurts like heck! I have read up on MRSA since I've had it 3 times. It tends to colonize in your nasal passages and just hang out. Then if you rub your nose and then scratch or touch other parts of your body it can spread. On occasion, I guess it gets bored hanging out in there and decides to flare up.
K--I am NOT dying! (I hope!) But people can/do die of MRSA. Mostly those who get it in the hospital, because their presence in the hospital means they are already weak/sick and this makes everything worse. The doctor did say this is more of a concern than the infections on my jaw and back. This is because the nasal passage is 'soft tissue' (?) and it is easy access to spread through the sinus cavity into the brain. But so far, so good!
