The aforementioned Superbug is hitting close to home. Here at Synthesis headquarters we have set up a quarantine around my desk because I have the immune system stamina of a 4-month old AIDS baby.

YUBA CITY, Calif.—A Yuba City elementary school is the latest to announce that a student has an antibiotic-resistant infection.

Yuba City Unified School District is sending parents warning letters about Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus—commonly called MRSA—after the staph infection was confirmed Friday.
The letter urges parents to have children wash their hands regularly and to avoid sharing clothing or towels. The infected child’s classroom is also being disinfected.
Meanwhile, Chico State University is reporting 31 students have tested positive for MRSA since January.
