Regarding staph infections of skin, I think they are actually considered fairly common these days. When I was a teenager, I stepped on some tacks that one of my brothers had left lying on the ground where he was making a toy boat (grrrrhhhh!!!). A couple of days later, I started to have a lot of pain walking, and within another day, I was in obvious trouble. We ended up at the ER and it turned out that I had gotten a staph infection (probably S. aureus) in my foot. It was a major mess. Had to go on antibiotics for about a week and the thing got bigger and had to be lanced. I had to stay in bed with the foot elevated for about 2 weeks while it drained and healed. I had a horse at my cottage that summer and couldn't ride it for about 3 or 4 weeks due to all of this. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly thrilled with my brother who left the tacks on the lying on the ground.
