staph infection

[FOY]

I believe I have a staph infection on my skin of my hip. I am already in debt to my eyeballs because of a hospital visit I had before Thanksgiving (ovarian cyst that I didn't know about was mimicking appendicitis, and I didn't want to mess around). The only things I have available are eucalyptus and garlic, do you think topical application of the eucalyptus and internal use of the garlic will help this condition at all?

It should - if it's fresh raw garlic that you have, you may want to crush some up in an oil and apply. Take it internally too, but when there's a localized infection it's great to attack it topically.
