My m-i-law caught mrsa in the hospital. After trying to get it under control for over a year the hospital treated some sores she developed with silver dressings. Worked to start clearing it up within a few days and several weeks later it was totally resolved. Silver is a good thing to keep around. Not to be overused but of great value imho.

I will have to look into non-drug antibiotics/antimicrobials. I've had allergic reactions to just about every antibiotic I've ever had (Penicillin/Amoxi, Biaxin/clarithromycin, Keflex, and I can't remember if I've had doxycyclin or not). My biggest concern health-wise is therefore making sure any wounds can be cleaned and sterilized as much as possible. I cut my leg shaving with my safety razor a while ago and was washing it for days with 90% isopropyl alcohol for days.
