Members of Maryland Family who Died had Influenza and MRSA on Environmental Expert

“People who have developed the flu and MRSA typically have a higher mortality rate than others,” reported Susan White, Ph.D., CMC, President of Sussex Environmental Health Consultants (SEHC), a leading Mid-Atlantic indoor air quality (IAQ) and infection control consulting firm.  “Most MRSA infections are skin infections, but more severe and potentially life-threatening MRSA infections are believed to be responsible for thousands of deaths each year in the United States. Proactive testing for MRSA can help prevent outbreaks of the disease.  If an outbreak has occurred, testing for the bacteria can pinpoint sources of the potentially deadly pathogen to prevent further illnesses,” she continued.
