A member asked:
I have had a staph infection twice and each time with antibiotics it has gone away. it appears it has come back, how do i get rid of this permanently ?

Depends: Have a source within your environment where you re-colonize your body with staph. This could be another human or animal source that can carry the germs without symptoms. I would discuss this with your doc, as any further investigations can be complicated.
