It might not necessarily be MRSA--could be cellulitis or hidradenitis suppurativa (although HS is a very rare condition and causes severe pain) which both can cause clear weeping from sores that don't heal properly. A lot of times wounds that refuse to heal are infected with some strain of staph which can be resistant to antibiotics like MRSA. But yeah MRSA is scary stuff with the necrosis that can form from it. You can pick up MRSA from dirty bodies of water, like a lake, though so you might be on to something.
Iirc, the half ton killer, Mayra Rosales had a similar problem where her skin was leaking a clear fluid. I think the explanation I saw in a documentary was that the fat had stretched her skin so whisper thin that it was barely holding her blood in, let alone any water in her skin. So despite being so obese that her husband had to give her sponge baths, she was constantly dehydrated because her skin was leaking so much fluid. In nonmedical terms, that's the closest a human being could get to literally popping without dying.
Given, I'm not a doctor so that whole spiel could have been some hazy half baked memory stitched together from too much time on the internet.
