Young, Healthy Firefighter Dies From MRSA Infection
A MRSA infection stole the life of a strong, healthy, 33-year-old Texas firefighter in less than 2 weeks. Complaining of severe back pain, Mike Chandler was put on painkillers until he was finally admitted to the emergency room unable to breathe and with signs of kidney failure. The infection took over his body quickly and he passed away shortly thereafter. Because of his profession as a firefighter, Chandler was at a higher risk of contracting the deadly infection. MRSA infections also are spreading in high school athletic departments, child care facilities, dormitories, gyms and spas, according to a warning issued by Texas health officials.
