My friend has the vamicacillian strand and she keeps getting painful staph infections all over her body in the form of tiny red, itchy bumps that turn into big swollen, inflamed boils. Every time she goes to the doctor she gets the same medications and while it helps at the time, it is only a temporary fix. Sometimes she gets it once a month, sometimes she gets 3 or 4 or 5 at a time, sometimes she goes a month or two without. But always the same thing, over and over. She is very frustrated. Anyone have any ideas?

acidophilus, kombucha, other probiotics may help

And why do you say those things so I can give her some sort of basis behind the suggestions? Thanks.

She needs to do things like sterilize her clothes, sheets and pillows, and her shower. Everything she comes into contact with. Dogs and cats carry staph also.

I normally wrap my staph so it doesn't get infected.

seriously though, stay away from gyms for like 6 months wtf you want to spread that shit? Also it sounds like she's not finishing her antibiotic regimen. IE its clearing up and then the person says "fuck it i don't need these pills anymore"
