@UberDude Additionally, do you have a partner? I know that I have transferred S. aureus from my nose to my girlfriend. I believe that through kissing, Staph in someone's nostrils can be transmitted to...

@UberDude That's interesting that your breakouts are on your chin. I currently have the same type of pimples on mine even though I am testing negative in my nose for Staph. My pimples pretty much foll...

@UberDude I personally don't think a cotton bud will be able to reach that area. I have read about Staph residing deeper within the sinuses, and I don't have a good answer on how to combat that beside...

@mayaaaa I believe Staph can cause localized acne depending on where the Staph is residing. Acne only showing up on your right cheek may indicate the presence of Staph on your right ear. For myself, I...

@teveun Once you get the MSA plates and sterile swabs, you'll rub the inside of both of your nostrils and then rub it on the gelatin in the plate. Grab a fresh sterile swab and plate and repeat for th...

@teveunIt's possible. Staph aureus is the main cause of pimple-like folliculitis. You can ask your doctor to test for it.

@MTS Go as far up your nose as you can pinch together with your fingers. That's the anterior nares and the primary reservoir of nasal Staph. I've never heard of TCP before you mentioned it. Its Wiki s...

Ah, that's really cool 🙂 If your incubator hits around 86-100 F then you should see growth in a couple of days. Please keep us updated with how the colloidal silver nasal spray works!

I'm still here  

@snedking Awesome that your MD so quickly diagnosed you with Staphylococcal folliculitis! I truly believe that Staph-induced folliculitis is being significantly underreported. What is the prescribed ...

@KamoteEater I am happy to help 🙂 I completely understand the feeling of waking up with new, deep cysts on the cheeks and jawline. It turned out that those were the result of Staph in my ears. I would...

@DK120 Thank you for the kind words While it's possible for Staph to be in saliva, I don't believe that is the primary reservoir of Staph. If Staph is the cause of your skin problems, I a...

@PickleShmickle What I've found to be really beneficial in reducing the Staph concentration in my nose is trimming my nose hairs. I think my nose hairs acted as a site for Staph to attach ...

@freedom Beyond preventing acne, I've also gotten rid of my congestion and allergies. When I was a kid, I was a mouth-breather at night because of chronic congestion and I was diagnosed with mild asth...

@freedom Staph should be capable of causing blackheads. I believe the severity of the acne is dependent on the starting concentration of Staph that have reached the hair follicle. Deep cys...

Hopefully that nose breakout will be your last   I couldn't honestly say if your minor headaches and dizzy spells are a result of the TAO treatment. I haven't talked about those symptoms w...

Based on your symptoms, it definitely can be Staph. It can easily be transferred from the nose/ear to the fingers and other parts of the body. The bacteria is highly contagious, so it's po...

1. I couldn't say with certainty how long it would take to fully get rid of nasal Staph. The first time I got rid of it it took 20 days or so. The second time I got rid of it it took multiple months. ...
