Cornstarch for MRSA
Helen (Clearfield, PA) on 07/31/2009:
Warning
People who are susceptable to MRSA and boils shouldn't use cornstarch-based body powders. Why: because cornstarch is a perfect growth medium for staph, and it is my contention that the use of cornstarch-based body powders has been a contributing factor is the rise of staph infections in general. But the more staph infections there are, the more likely one is to eventually get a resistant form, and who wants to play those odds?p.s. Staph can cause boils without neccessarily being antibiotic resistant.
