The majority of people that get a MRSA infection get it from long term care facilities, kidney dialysis, injecting illegal drugs, or have had a recent surgery. Symptoms include red bumps that resemble pimples on the skin that eventually become large boils that reach deep into the skin.
The Sahel (/sÉËhÉl/) is the ecoclimatic and biogeographic zone of transition in Africa between the Sahara Desert to the north and the Sudanian Savanna to the south. Having a semi-arid climate, it stretches across the south-central latitudes of Northern Africa between the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea.
In West Africa the Sahel is also a geopolitical entity -- the Permanent Interstates Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS) was formed in 1973 by Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chad, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Senegal.he Sahel region had a long period of declining rainfall from the early 1950s to the 1980s, with increasing rainfall since 1985, as shown in the following figure showing deviation from mean precipitation for 1900 to 2000 [ http://www.eoearth.org/article/Greening_of_the_Sahel ].
