It could be years before anything is developed from the volcanic clay for oral or intravenous use, but maybe something could be developed sooner for a topical antibiotic to catch it early at a wound site. And who knows how long it will take the FDA to approve it.

A common complication with early treatment of MRSA, is that sometimes a small wound heals over, becomes red and irritated, spreads quickly and then gets diagnosed as MRSA. It usually takes several days to run the lab test for it, unless someone knows of a new and improved test. In the meanwhile, a less agressive antibiotic treatment is administered per standard protocol.
