Can admit: Mrsa use precautions while changing dressing and have patient in a single room. Culture wound and treat according to culture results recently I started using Moringa oil with castor oil combination (788mg castor oil per oz) and wound healed in 1 week. The other choice get French green clay and mix above oils - it paralyzed bacteria http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2600539/
