Through the very heartbreaking story of Jacob Marshall, Fresno’s local ABC news station is warning the community about the dangers of MRSA:
Jacob Marshall’s mother Millie says it took just a few hours for the aggressive bacteria to settle in and take over her son’s body.
“Just overnight, it happened so fast that the bacteria started attacking his lungs,” said Millie Marshall.
Jacob had MRSA, a staph bacteria that infected his body. Jacob’s mother got the first red flag when her son got a fever and his knees swelled up.
His mother says doctors assume he contracted the bacteria through small cuts he had in his foot. His mother says overnight Jacob became unable to move.
“When I tried to pull him up, as I’m pulling him up, I’m feeling him and he’s crying, just terribly crying. And saying it hurts and I can’t get up. And I felt his little body and it was so cold and clammy,” said Marshall.
Poor Jacob didn’t make it, but you are one step ahead of the game. Don’t let Jacob’s death and the deaths of so many others be for nothing – be aware, be hygenic, don’t wait to go to the doctor if you suspect something is wrong and hopefully you won’t have to deal with this tremendously difficult bacteria in your life.
Awareness, CA MRSA, California, MRSA, MRSA in Children, MRSA in the U.S.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jason’s family.
I am from Fresno, and made a horrible discovery, which I believe is linked to the current staph infection nightmare. Years of felony altering of the city sewer and water system by unlicensed, unauthorized group. City risk analyst lying to residents as they are exposed to raw sewage.
Clamped sewer/water lines throughout town; leaking. Unclamping to create mold lawsuits and insurance claims. How many years can something like this go on without permeating the city with raw sewage.
The excessive nitrate (product from human waste) in our drinking water appears to be the result of sewage back spills – this same dept. has been repeatedly caught by EPA covering up the truth about the harmful levels.
Reporting this resulted in lies, threats, name-calling and perjury as they discredited their own records, which verify exactly what has been taking place. There are photographs, witnesses and documentation as further evidence.
This is barbaric.
