In all my years of surfing and getting coral cuts on a regular basis, I never got staph, but many (not all) of my friends did. I came to the conclusion that some people have a natural resistance to it and others don't. But I do know for a fact that if left unchecked it can be very dangerous. Trying the home remedies is fine, Bacitracin was the ointment of choice for my group, but if you see the red line or start feeling sick, it's time to stop resisting the hospital visit.
That may be true however areas of poor circulation in the body are often the areas that are slow to heal staph infections.
