She has open sores all over her body and I have to apply oinments to her body... I also have to clean up sanitary napkins that are covered in urine and feces...I was exposed to this...I now have moderate to svere pain in in my legs, a blister on my leg and a constant headache.

Thanks for your post. The most important thing you can do is to get to a doctor as soon as possible. A professional medical evaluation is most important in order to properly diagnose and treat whatever you might be facing.
In the meantime, I did a search on our site and found numerous references to staphylococcus infection.
I thought you could review as you wish.
All the best, sue
