[QUOTE="SRL, post: 87308, member: 701"] HereWeGoAgain, it was rather unnerving to see that article on MRSA appear right when we're waiting for the culture results. I asked the pediatrician yesterday if they were seeing more piercing infections and he said not that often but occasionally. He did say they were seeing more staph. My easy child is only 9 and wouldn't let me near it without hysteria so taking her in was a no brainer but I could see older girls or those less sensitive to pain and yuck giving it a go at home. Thankfully my daughter does feel better and the pain is decreased. She does still have a large pustule which I think could use cleaning out but with her that would take a doctor trip. 7th grade was the typical age for girls getting pierced when I was young but now it's down to 2nd grade in my area. I think younger is okay provided there are no problems but I'm not sure she's as well equipped to handle problems as she might be if she were older. With these nasty germs going around, I wonder if the piercing trend will reverse. [/QUOTE]
