MRSA on Project Runway

December 12th, 2007 · 3 Comments

project-runway-jack-mrsa I guess the whole world isn’t in to Project Runway like I am - but I have just read some spoilers for the episode coming up here in 15 minutes, and Ill be darned if one of the most lovable contenders doesn’t have MRSA. It’s amazing how my two greatest interests, beauty and MRSA, seem to collide so often. Jack was definitely an early on favorite to win, but I am sure he is going to be bowing out tonight, as there is no way the rigors of competition is going to mesh well with his MRSA, and he is also HIV+, which is a dangerous combination. HIV attacks your immune system, and MRSA thrives on weakened immunity. I have known more than a few people with both, and without great care, MRSA can really get the best of you. Diabetes and other illnesses that weaken your body will affect MRSA the same way. Best wishes to Jack - I hope and pray he remained on top of his infection and it didn’t give him too terrible of a time. He has been all over the gossip papers of late, and he looks great, so I think that hopefully all is well with him. But I will keep him in my prayers just like I do every one of you I speak to and read about your battle.

And if you find your way here looking for more info about MRSA, please don’t hesitate to join us at the MRSA forum, at MRSA Resources, and if you would like to read what we went through, you can read Marshall’s story. Take care of yourselves!

ActivePure kills germs on surfaces.That’s proven. Viruses on doorknobs,like the flu,die.Bacteria,like E.coli and Salmonella on countertops,are stopped in their tracks.That means less exposure to illness causing germs for your friends and family.
A filter can’t reach germs on surfaces ,this unique product can,without toxic chemicals,to safely protect your family and help prevent the spread of germs.On the way ,it knocks out smoke and odors,without cover-ups.
Think outside,inside.Natural,germ-killing,odor-reducing processes found in sunlight and thunderstorms are recreated in the home.Based on NASA research to create safer environments during space travel .And used by the Pentagon after 9/11.

Kansas State University Tested this Technology and found that in 2 hours 97% of MRSA was neutralized, 99.99 % killed in 24 hours on Surfaces .With the push of a Button.In less than 12 hours,over 99.99% of H5N8 Flu virus-Avian Influenza-was neutralized.Imagine that kind of germ-killing power in your home.To learn more go to

Oh, my gosh … I thought last night’s episode would be burning up the net by now… I enjoy this show, but found it sad that I had to think about MRSA instead of enjoying watching the design action. Am I the only one who’s sick from watching Jack hug everyone with a big place on his face that he clearly stated was an infection site? I thought he was a great part of the show but, wow, he said he had these infections before - did he not know anything about infection precautions? Bravo gave no info about MRSA, either, which I guess they didn’t have to do. I appreciate this forum as a place to share my concerns about this.

There is new technology out that will kill the MRSA staph as well as other bateria, virus and fungi on the hard surfaces of your house, office or work place. Besides good hygine making sure that your environment is clean is critical to staying healthy.
