Rather than totally repeat myself, which I love to do on this subject, I will just tell you what WFAA TV in Dallas wants you to be reminded of, which is: [...] [...] As you may or may not know, MRSA in salons holds an extra sensitive place in me, as I have been a nail tech for more than 20 years now.

I've actually been reading daily, just haven't been in the mood to respond. I'll make up for it today. Speaking of MRSA, I read your journal about your dh's illness last year. I found it very interesting and compelling reading. You should turn it into a book. I'm sure most people haven't heard of this infection and don't take little irritations like ingrown hairs or boils, etc. too seriously. How did the taping go last weekend? For PBS, right? You'll have to let us know when it will be aired. How is your husband doing now? Completely recovered, I hope. Awww….well I’m glad to be back.

I know I am very paranoid about MRSA from my experience with it, but after many years in the nail biz, I know from that side of things as well that it IS something to really be careful of and concerned about. Hope you are doing well, Gail, its nice to see you again - I miss you when you aren't around. ;) LOL It is big in Texas at the moment, because the woman who died was in Dallas, but it has made national news (Good Morning America last week) and is a hot topic in CA as well – if you remember a few years back they had a rash of salon infections.

Christina, we're both in Texas, I was wondering if you have heard if this is a big news topic nationwide, or just something Texas media has latched onto lately?

But after reading what Christina (EbeautyDaily) had to say about infections, you have to wonder just how careful some of the technicians are. Here’s what she has to say… My best advice to you is to educate yourself about sanitization and disinfection, and ask your nail tech how she sanitizes her implements, and to ask to see the process first hand. She needs to have at least a couple of sets of tools , or have at least 30 minutes scheduled between clients to insure that sanitization is performed properly.
