Ok In January when i was away at school my dad developed a bad staph infection (boils all over), for the first time in his life. A few months later I came home from school and got a staph infection (boils on my butt http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif ) for the first time ever! Well last month my dad got the boils again and now my brother has the same thing which has never happened to him before. Now my mom thinks she may have one on her leg. She has never had boils before. Isnt it a little strange that we all got this infection this year when none of us has ever had boils before? A doctor says that its just bad luck, but I dunno what do you guys think???

There is definetly staph lingering in the household. When I worked in a nursing home I would get them all the time. I would get some lysol and spray the house down real good.

Best wishes
