Here are some articles with some helpful information. Clean hands and
covered open wounds are the most important things to worry about. Nag

care of all the bacteria. I dealt with MRSA on a personal family level
for well over a year. The treatment for it once it hits the bloodstream
is months and months of IV antibiotics. It is everywhere, and good
hygiene is what prevents it from spreading.
