The account: "Jo Gilchrist found herself with an incredible back pain that just wouldn't quit....It kept getting worse and worse until the young mom had to be airlifted for emergency surgery. 'I honestly thought I was going to die,' she [said]. 'The pain was worse than childbirth.'
The details: "As doctors eventually discovered, Gilchrist had caught a serious community-associated MRSA infection that had attacked her spine."
"[Gilchrist] has a feeling she knows where she caught [it]. 'The only thing we can put it down to is the makeup brush,' she said of the tool she borrowed to cover a pimple. 'My friend did have a staph infection on her face and I was using her brush just before. I had no idea that could happen, I used to share with my friends all the time.'"
The bottom line: Dump your makeup brushes. All of them. In fact, dump your friends too. They're not worth the risk.
