I've never heard of the PVL that this article discusses... so that could be a whole new ballgame.

But they also speak of Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus (MRSA), and while that is a pain in the butt and has the potential to help kill you (especially CFers with lousy lungs)... it is also possible to live around it. I got MRSA when I was 16, went on IVs and it immediately died down, and I haven't seen it since. They still quarantine me when I go into the hospital, for the safety of other patients, just in case. But it hasn't caused me any death-like problems. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
