If it gets into a wound or break in the skin it can cause an infection.
And it has developed a resistance to commonly used antibiotics.

The more anti-biotics you've had and the more anti-biotic resistant foods you've eaten, the higher the chances of MRSA being problematic for the individual.
Don't forget that anti-biotics are also given to animals and that you eat those animals and thus also get their anti-biotics. It's a big problem now and will be a much larger problem in 20 years time.
EDIT:
The fact that the conservative party in England are using it to get at Blair is as pathetic as the whole asylum question over there. People really are too stupid to deserve anything better.

What the pregnant mother does affects her, not you. So stop imposing your beliefs on other people. fair enough if you don't want to have an abortion; don't have one.

whilst reading through some stuff for the election i discovered that the labour governement refused to lower the age of consent from 16. i have no idea who wanted to lower it, but i have a funny feelling i'm not going to like them...
and if i have an opinion and the government conveyes, in essence, the opinions of the people, then it is a political issue!
and D43MON, i presume your talking about catholics here. sex outside of marraige is most definatly against christaininty. condoms are a hazier field. now, if a catholic is going to break one of the 10 commandments, do you really thing that they are going to be stopped by a man-mad law based on their belifes? coincidentally, the condom distributer in my hall is a practising catholic...

Does the age of consent matter?
Surely the age teenagers actually have sex, and the safeness of that sex is what is really important.
thirteen was one of the scariest films i have ever seen.
