Staph Infections- Symptoms, Risk Factors And Treatment

Staph infections are caused by bacteria (staphylococcus) that is found on the skin or in the nose. Where Staph becomes a concern is when it enters the blood stream which can occur through many places in the body such as the Urinary Tract, Lungs, or Heart or even female reproductive organs like the Vagina with usage of feminine products such as Tampons. This type of Staph infection is known as Toxic Shock Syndrome and can be fatal, although it is rare.
