If you have watched the news recently you have heard or read about schools in two states being closed because of this infection. It is serious and can cause death.

This infection has killed one student in New York today. The article refered to in the 1st post is in my article section if you care to read it.

The article was writen by an AP writer and has a lot of information on how the diease is spead and contracted. Please, read this as it is affecting children more than adults.

If you belong to a gym be prepared to take a spray bottle of water mixed with a table spoon of bleach to disinfect the work benches before you use them.

Today, in Rocklin, CA a school has been closed due to this MARS super-bug. Rockiln is the community that Hewlet Packered mover to from the bay area, it is only 15 miles from Sacramento and 30 miles from my home.

This is one dangerous bug. Any one who frequents a gym, sporting events or has children in school needs to research this bug.

You can log on to the web site to the Center for Diease Control in Altanta, Georgia and read all you need to learn.

The article is posted in my article section, please, read it.

This just in on tonight's news from KCRA Sacramento.

School's in Natomas, Rio Linda and Jughston have been closed due to MARS infection. All of these schools are in the Sacramento area. Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital (Sac area) has instuted the policy of screening all new paitents for MARS before they are admited to the hospital.

SNMH doctor's stated infection is carried in the nose and sinus area as well as the arm pits and groin area and admits that infection started in hospitals and has been around for a few years but nothing has been done.
