This Links 4 Life Alert provides some critical information about this type of infection. MRSA, like the recent bedbug revival, seems to be on the rise. And it is deadly. Its initial symptoms often resemble those of a spider bite, and it is easy to be mistaken between the two.

MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a bacteria that is responsible for many hard-to-treat infections. The bacteria is often referred to as a "super bug," because it cannot be killed with certain antibiotics, including common ones like penicillin and amoxicillin. MRSA most often causes painful skin infections, but it can also lead to infections of the urinary tract, blood, and lungs. Some of these infections can be life-threatening. People who are in the hospital are more likely to get severe MRSA infections.
