The perpetually ill Michael Jackson may now be fighting off the MRSA flesh-eating disease. Plagued by strange afflictions for over a decade these latest rumors about his ailing health come as photos of Jackson with patches of redness visible under his ever-present mask were featured in The Sun.
The Sun has speculated that the redness is due to a skin infection that could progress to MRSA, the flesh-eating disease. Micheal Jackson is believed to have contracted the flesh-eating virus from a botched plastic surgery procedure and is reportedly undergoing an antibiotic IV to ward off a full blown case of MRSA.
"Michael Jackson has a severe staph infection that he contracted during work to reconstruct his nose," an insider says.
"The disease is an MRSA-style infection because it is resistant to conventional antibiotics, so he has been visiting a clinic to get antibiotics via an IV drip. The infection has spread throughout his face and body and is being aggressively treated by doctors," the source adds.
"There's a chance it could turn into a flesh-eating disorder where it begins to kill off his skin so he’s being very carefully monitored," they finish.

Well, this makes sense, the staph infection went internal and caused organ damage and failure. MRSA killing Jackson? If he actually had it and the drugs weren't effective (ie vanco, clinda mycin, etc, ) then it could definetely have been the egent that causes his decline. Sad story.

So sad he ended up looking like one of the monsters from his Thriller video. A cautionary tale to avoid plastic surgery.

I wonder if he did have an MRSA or Staph infection and if it had anything to do with his untimely death. And, I wonder if he was getting any <a href="http://www.staph-infection-resources.com'>MRSA Treatment</a>. I don't know as the reports haven't concluded. I do wish his family the very best and I will miss him.
