Doesn’t that kid look like a zombie? I think he (or she) would eat brains if given the chance. But anyway.

I done finished an article about Staph infections. I don’t know if you’ve heard about them. Flesh eating bacteria that are running rampant through our schools and hospitals? Yeah, that would be Staph infections. Actually, this article is about how to get rid of impetigo, a type of Staph infection–since Staph infections come in several flavors. Staphylococcus aureus, the scientific name for the bacteria we’re talking about here, are responsible for a lot of problems like razor rash, boils, carbuncles, impetigo, some types of arthritis, stomach flu and food poisoning, even pneumonia. It’s an incredible little germ, that’s for sure.

Anyway, impetigo is probably one of the milder infections (when it’s mild. see: google images impetigo) caused by a colonization of the Staph bacteria. There are several recommendations from the standpoint of conventional medicine as well as several suggestions for treatment from the side of alternative medicine. Whether you believe in herbalism or not, you should probably get a Staph infection looked at by a doctor. If, however, medical attention is not immediately available to you, some of the advice offered in the article, “how to get rid of a staph infection” should help you prevent or treat a mild staph infection.
