I recently saw a patient with overwhelming MRSA sepsis with multiple foci of infection including epidural abscess (around the spinal cord), and meningitis. This person was taking rapamycin presumably for "life extension" purposes. Almost certainly the immunosuppression from the rapamycin made the infection much worse.

I'd be very wary of taking an immunosuppressive drug as an otherwise healthy person for theoretical life extension properties.

What was the dose and frequency? I bet it was rather high. Or do you really think that 1 mg once per week will suppress the immune system?
