Keep on the look out it seems this traveling bug, known as the Superbug, has struck North Carolina. According to an article three teenagers have already passed from this mysterious bug. Now 6 more teens (football players) from East Forsyth High School (North Carolina) have been diagnosed with the same thing. Other reports state 6 more teens in West Virginia have come down with it. East High is scrubbing down the entire school to make sure the virus/bug doesn't spread.
The SuperBug has also struck and killed 3 more children.
11-year-old in New Hampshire
4-year-old in Mississippi
17-year-old Ashton Bonds of Virginia
The real name for this bug is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. Currently doctors and scientists are trying to figure out why this is infecting healthy people, when it normally effects those with low immune systems. If you or your child comes down with these symptoms seek medical help.
I'll try keeping everyone up-to-date as I learn more about the Superbug.
