Hello :-)
Before I was diagnozed with CC, I went through a lot of medical tests. Because of my awful brain fog, I had a CT scan of the brain in 2011. There was nothing wrong, but the radiologist had mentioned in the report "an assembly of water with Staphylococcus Aureus" was detected behind my right ear.
The doctor laughed and said that this was harmless.
Well, the thought of having water full of yellow staphylococcus in my brain made me worried, and I can't stop thinking of it.
In 2012 I had stool samples sent to a laboratory in Denmark to see if I had parasites, which I did not have, but the Parasitology report also mentioned Staphylococcus Aureus +1 (commencal imbalanced flora). The doctor did not lift an eyebrow.
Is there a way to get rid of this, and is it as harmless as the doctors say?
I would be grateful for any thoughts or ideas from you on the subject, so I can stop thinking of it.
Regards,
Lilja

Hi Lilja,
Most of us have them in our nose or on (or in) our skin. If you've ever had a boil, for example, it was almost surely due to S. aureus.
The scan report was probably referring to a pocket of them in your skin (behind your ear — not in your brain). Over the years, I've had a few world-class boils, but so far none of them have been life-threatening.
They're very common, so it's unlikely that you would be able to exterminate them. Even dogs and cats (and many other animals) carry them.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Thank you, Tex!
Now I can relax and stop thinking of it.
However, I have some language challenges with your word "boil". I have tried to google it, but I only get the traditional meaning of boil. Is it a kind of pimple?
I am so grateful for this board

Sorry about the poor word choice. S. aureus bacteria often cause pimples, also. A "boil" is actually a feruncle. Here's some info on it:
