Sylvio, what antibiotic(s) did you decide to add? I'm curious because I don't know what sort of "broad spectrum" antibiotic would be a good one to use. I'm leery of dosing myself with an antibiotic unless I'm sure it will work on the staph strain which caused the infection. Maybe there is a physician on PW who can give out some "free" medical advice ... hope, hope! -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Apr 15 1998 - 21:07:01 PDT
