Anyone here know about MRSA in diabetics?

Asked by susieQ  |  Jul 9, 2009

My MIIL has MRSA again. Her Dr. said that she has to do another round of meds. we got home health set up to come in and change her bandages (she has a major infection after a surgery and has a hole about 1 inch around in her abdomen that bleeds a lot and had stuff that ozzes out and has covered most of her clothing, shoes and towels. This is her third MRSA infectiion in 16 months. I cleaned her up and the blood, the the last two times not knowing it was MRSA an without gloves. This time I'm using gloves and bleach. anyway does anyone know the proper procedure for blood soaked clothing? Has anyone done this and how do you cope with the stench? She needs bathing and I gag easy and I hust really don't wnat to do it.
