		CatWChainsaw on April 27, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to prevent Lyme disease this summer Sorry for the akshually energy, but the acronym MRSA is specifically for methicillin-resistant Staph aureus. In this context you might have meant MDR for multi-drug resistant? There's also XDR for the apocalyptic superbugs we're inadvertently breeding.
