Almost all of us (and probably all of us at some point) have S. aureus on our skin and in our noses. It can cause a boat load of problems and not be an MRSA strain. It can lay on your counter top or anywhere else for up to a month so proper hygiene and prompt treatment of cuts and scrapes is important. Cell phones, computer keyboards, door handles and water fountains are just a few of the places you can find it.

shopping carts, door knobs, light switches...
So many people swim and fish in Flint River, that this actually poses a serious risk to (what I would consider) a large population of people.
Where I live, The Chattahoochee River, Flint River, and Spring Creek, all converge within a mile of each other in a huge lake. Now we have the risk of the lake becoming contaminated.
What I find most interesting, is that this is a disease which has mutated / evolved in our lifetime. It has adapted to our mediocre attempts to expand populations.
It is my personal opinion, with no premise other than my own observations, that it won't be a major natural disaster that causes some global panic... It will be pandemic, much the same way that the black plague decimated human populations in Europe.

Now they have dissolving micro silicon circuits that can heat up and kill the bacteria then dissolve inside you. I think my last trip to the doctor I must have received a shot of these because I started smoking shortly after eating dinner. The dog even moved. http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/farting/big-fart.gif
