My family's battled ca-mrsa for 3 yrs. did everything advised to the letter & more! how is it considered curable if it doesn't ever stop coming back?

Really hard.: People have certain germs on their skin and which ones are very hard to change. BUT 100% of people have staph on their skin. 10% have staph that can give infection, and 1% have MRSA. Having the germ means you can get a skin infection from it, but it doesnt mean you will. Prevention of skin abrasions/rips is the best preventative.
