I have battled MRSA since June 2006. It has manifested itself as repeated skin infections (mostly infected hair follicles, but also other lingering cuts, hangnails, etc.). I took antibiotics for about 2 years, none of which worked. One gave me a horrible allergic reaction (sulfamethaoxazole) and another gave me a month of severe diarrhea (clindamycin).
When I read some news article , I had hope that there might be a better solution out there. I made myself a tincture out of marijuana, applied it topically with a spray bottle, and have since been able to completely abandon antibiotics and bleach baths. I only have to apply the tincture about once a month (that's how often my symptoms reappear) and it's as simple a quick spritz on my skin.
It seems that, as long as I battle eczema, I won't be able to get rid of the MRSA entirely, but now I have a quick, cheap, and side effect-free way to treat it.
