I always love it when MRSA hits the mainstream media, and it has done just that. Yesterday, USA Today’s Anita Manning presents an article about “search and destroy” programs being implemented in some of our nation’s hospitals in order to combat HA-MRSA. These hospitals have seen successful results in a few other hospitals, and have taken on the costs in order to protect their patients and themselves, and have even been able to “sell” it to the administration:
Robiscek says the MRSA program at his hospital costs $600,000 to $1 million a year to test about 40,000 patients but has cut the number of MRSA infections from more than 100 a year to about 50. Each infection adds about $30,000 to the cost of treatment, he says, “so our hospital administration feels in addition to the human cost, there has been a financial benefit.” [source]
A small price to pay to save lives now, and in the future, don’t you think? And a nice thing to see after seeing whats going on in Ireland, huh?

Powerful & Preventative weapon against MRSA // Apr 26, 2007 at 2:10 pm
My name is Aaron Chumbley and I am the head of our Chicago Office. I represent a company from Rockledge Florida called “AirTech Solutions 4u†We currently have 2 ways in which to eliminate and prevent MRSA, as well as many other viruses including Norwalk. We do so by the application of an antimicrobial product which is unlike any product currently on the market. We have documentation of it’s effectiveness and long lasting protection against this and many other viruses. The destruction of the microbes is done mechanically instead of chemically therefore pretty much eliminating the possibility of a mutation. “Super Bugs†The longevity of the application and the fact that it is an ongoing and active kill makes this product unique in the industry today. Along with our air purification systems this process will produce an environment unlike anything that has been available to health care facilities, businesses, industries and residences, up to this point. We would be more than willing to share more of this information with you or anyone who would be interested. All we ask is for the opportunity to talk or visit with you and and then let our products themselves demonstrate how this process can be revolutionary and ground breaking. We absolutely understand that peoples health and lives are at stake here and we believe we have the “Silver Bullet†process, that can be a huge weapon in the arsenal against infectious diseases. We are currently in the process of marketing our products and process to hospitals, health care facilities, cruise lines, athletic venues, schools, hotels, new construction projects and pretty much anywhere that there is a major concern about viruses, germs, fungus, molds, and “Super Bugs†If interested to find out more, you can e-mail me back at AChum32247@cs.com or you can call our home office in Rockledge, Florida. 1-866-912-4748.
