In addition, hospitals (which demonstrate high MRSA rates) may opt toward eradication of MRSA by treating all personnel who are MRSA carriers. In United States alone, general population will never quite know exact amount of deaths attributed to MRSA because statistics are not accurately accounted. One possible problem is that S.E.A.R.C.H. (Surveillance for Emerging Antimicrobial Resistance Connected to Healthcare) is comprised of voluntary participants; including hospitals, state health departments, and other healthcare facilities. When participants are voluntary, in my own opinion, statistics cannot be completely accurate; therefore, incidence of MRSA may be much greater than realized.

But how can 5 minutes spare a life? Being directly connected to a family member who had acquired MRSA, it is sad that only 5 minutes could've made all difference. By memorizing, and diligently practicing above guidelines, MRSA can be prevented. Unless individuals are experiencing constant health battle, irreparable physical damages, and even loss that accompanies MRSA, it is difficult for some to understand critical seriousness of MRSA.

If you are a healthcare provider or work in a healthcare environment, please - take 5 minutes of your time today and reflect on this vital information. Next time, it could be you, your spouse, your child, your parent, your grandparent...MRSA knows no boundaries.

Line just above your natural lip line to create fuller looking lips. Avoid darker colors, which tend to make your lips look smaller.

To Make Full Lips look Smaller:

Line just slightly inside your natural lip line to make your lips appear smaller. Avoid light, bright or shiny colors which tend to make lips look fuller and will draw more attention to your mouth.

Color:

Moisturizing lipsticks are creamy and shiny, but don't wear as long as Lip Stains or Long Wearing Lip Sticks. A great all-purpose Lip Stick to try is Alexis Vogel Lip Stick.
