Hyaluronic acid (HA) is not just a trendy skincare product, it could actually help treat skin wounds🩹 The skin acts as the body's first barrier against pathogens and injury. Therefore, wound infections can trigger a complex cellular response and treatment is often challenging🦠

You're nearly THREE times as likely to test positive for Staphylococcus Aureus after Covid than after Flu.
(and you know what MRSA stands for, right?)

Host Determinants for the Spread of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin–Positive Staphylococcus aureus in Sub-Saharan Africa
The Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) of Staphylococcus aureus can be associated with severe and recurrent skin and soft tissue infections. The prevalence of PVL is particularly high in sub-Saharan Africa.
