Supermarket sells anti-MRSA cream
Link: BBC NEWS
Some controversy about this one! Seems it may now be being promoted as a barrier cream and its actions against MRSA are being downplayed. Click the link for the whole article.
A home-made hand lotion which has proved effective in combating the potentially fatal MRSA superbug goes on sale in Asda supermarkets on Friday. Retired lorry driver Brian Bennett, from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, originally developed the product to treat his wife's dermatitis. In trials at a Birmingham hospital it successfully killed the bacteria responsible for MRSA. He is now seeking approval for it to be used by the National Health Service.
If this cream is a precaution and in fact a cure from MRSA - please let it be widely available soon.
Downside: I hope that this does not kill off the 'friendly bactia too?'
