Can mrsa (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) kill u?

Well, under certain circumstances, yes, an MRSA can be lethal. MRSA-associated pneumonia and MRSA blood infections have the highest mortality rates but infection at other sites aren’t usually fatal. MRSA infections can occur in the skin, in wounds, in the respiratory tract, the nasal passage, the eyes, the blood, the intestines and the urine. But from something you wrote it sounds like his diagnosis hasn’t been established (we think it might be an std or mrsa). If your brother is a “carrier”, as you’ve said, then he’s colonized. (Use some punctuation, please!) I’ve no knowledge of MRSA causing brain damage. You’ll have to explain your brother another way, ha, ha. You haven’t said how your brother is “kinda being stupid” and you’ve rather clouded the issue by stating that “we think it might be an std or mrsa”. At any rate, I answered your question.
