MRSA - Is It Going Away?

MRSA - Is it going away? Just because it is not on front page news today, does not mean that MRSA staph infections are going away. This is still a serious problem and until hospitals, schools, gyms and other facilities learn to properly disinfect, then MRSA will still be around.

Protection From MRSA Staph Infection

Protection From MRSA Staph Infection

Some staph bacteria cannot be killed with commonly used antibiotics such as over the counter types. They have been found ineffective against the MRSA staph infection.

In order to help prevent MRSA from becoming a problem, your first line of defense is to know the MRSA symptoms. You should wash your hands frequently using plenty of soap and water. This will remove the largest threat of the infection from becoming more serious.

Wear clean clothes washing all uniforms, workout clothing and other articles of clothing that become soiled and sweaty. If you are involved with sports, keep all personal protection clean and dry. Never share towels. Do not share or use equipment until it has been properly cleaned and disinfected.

Lastly, be sure to treat all open wounds and scrapes which may appear to be MRSA symptoms with an antibacterial product that is designed to kill the MRSA infection. Insure that you keep these wounds and scrapes covered with a bandage to reduce the chance of spreading. As always, seek medical attention if you even suspect you may have a MRSA staph infection.
