I have been told there are at least 8 cases of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria MSRA. MSRA has been the new "it" disease lately in the US media, with bird flu and West Nile virus out of chic.
Kevin Blatt recently discussed his infection. It is not a pleasant ordeal. I predict there will be numerous more cases spread in Vegas and on set in the next month.
I saw the article AdultFYI on Kevin Blatt and his infection, and his predictions about how this will affect the industry.
It sounds terrifying, but I was wondering: Is Kevin Blatt really a good source for important medical information? Did he get this from a real Physician, or did make these predictions based on his own knowledge? If there is a Medical Physician who reads LIB and wants to comment, what can we in the industry do to avoid getting this infection?
As long as the porn biz shoots without condoms (and I’m not saying it should or shouldnt) it’s bascially a ticking time bomb. Tests or no test, testing only exposes past activity and shows the performer is disease free. Testing does not protect the performer from future risky activity.Each shoot a performer does helps rolls the dice in the STD lottery. Unprotected sex, especially anal, ATM, greatly increases the risk of STD’s. But this is common knowledge.
Play on player.
Always take a shower after your skin has touched the set couches because they really are the filthiest things you’ll be in contact with. I’m not trivializing staph infections, but showering does wonders to keep it at bay! Doncha think?
These fuckers behind the scenes should make it mandatory to use condoms instead of only thinking of how much money they will lose if they use condoms. Wicked is the last studio to make it mandatory to use condoms. And they are one of the top porn producers still out there.
Porn adapted after AIDS. Porn will adapt after MSRA
When does big dick baddy come on this thread and tell us germly steele created this disease?
Get some Staphsetic from the local drug store, it may help. Wearing rubber gloves in Vegas may help too. Go to the local Walgreens(save the stock) or CVS and get some, bring me back a Zagnut bar and some laffy taffy for Steele, post show treat for the little guy. Oh I forgot get an enema or two and some phospho soda for Lockwood as a special gift and the large bottle of Germ X for Ms Jett. That will get the stock price up, now if the Hedgehog could only get his zocor from there too.
The porn industry should have a staph meeting on the issue.
Actually it’s MRSA, not MSRA…
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (usually pronounced in short as “Mursa” in American English, spelled out as M-R-S-A in British English), is a bacterium responsible for difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It may also be referred to as multiply-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA). The organism is often sub-categorized as Community-Associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) or Hospital-Associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) depending upon the circumstances of acquiring disease, based on current data that these are distinct strains of the bacterial species.
Actually, it’s MRSA, pronounced as “mersa”
If anyone has this Kevin’s email, you might tell him to use maggots to cure MRSA:

Lawrence Connor said Kevin Blatt should be pleased you suggested that he use maggots on himself.
