The Attack of STAPH

A long lingering trouble among young adults today is the spread of the dangerous and deadly STAPH infection. The disease is very personal, affecting close friends and family of many people across the United States. An even scarier thought can be seen through the increasing number of STAPH cases that have sprouted up among Americans in the past few years. The lives of the survivors around a victim are affected seriously, and through quite disastrous feelings of remorse and lethargy. Methods of preventing STAPH have proved to be inefficient because of the fresh breakthrough that the disease has brought to the world. STAPH has risen in popularity but the treatments have not necessarily improved to go along with it. This is definitely a serious issue that will be prominent in the future American societies.

The symptoms that are visible to the human eye for STAPH infection are really not close to visible at all. There are many victims that fall dead to the disease without ever having a single indication of having the bacterium in their system. Others will get a warning sign just hours before their death. These are the sad stories of the innocent people who lose their lives under terrible consequences. The way that STAPH works with the human body was mystical for many years and it took a lot of researchers a lot of time and money to discover the beginnings of the disease. In teens, most staph infections are minor skin infections.

People are exposed to staph infections from contaminated objects. However, the staph bacterium is always going to be spread through skin-to-skin contact and can is easily contracted from one person to another without notice. This can explain why many college students get STAPH infection; the closeness that the students experience while they are in dorms proves very prevalent for the spread of the bacterium. If a bed linen, towel, or pieces of clothing is infected the bacterium can live for a long period of time, being able to spread to other items and people much later. This is why STAPH has caught many people by surprise.

Knowing a couple of people who have been infected with STAPH infection I have quickly been exposed to the seriousness of the subject. Although there is no way I can completely protect myself from getting STAPH there are still some steps that I think many people should take. Staying healthy and keeping away from the general germs can help eliminate some of the chances of STAPH infection. There are high hopes, for in the future, that STAPH infection and its number of cases begins to diminish. The effects are deadly and the cases are quite scary, but still today STAPH continues to attack!
