MRSA Prevention: 8 Ways to Prevent Staph Infections!

MRSA is a type of Staph that is able to resist medicines used to treat Staph infections. Staph is a germ that a third of the population has on their skin. The germ itself does not cause any problems for most people. Occasionally people with Staph infections can get infections in the blood that can be treated with antibiotics. MRSA unfortunately is resistant to the antibiotics used to treat most Staph infections and therefore needs to be treated differently.


MRSA is very serious and is also easily passed from person to person. The germ can easily move from one person to another through bedding, clothing, bathroom fixtures, gyms and other contaminated areas not cleaned often. MRSA can be treated but it is best to avoid this terrible Staph infection. The following are precautionary steps to prevent MRSA and other Staph infections.

1. Clean your hands frequently with soap and hot water.
2. Carry Hand Sanitizer with you at all times to sanitize your hands and children's when soap & water aren't available. Non-alcohol based sanitizers are now available that are much safer for children and can kill the germs.
3. Avoid individuals infected with Staph until they are being treated. If it is necessary to be around someone with Staph make sure to wear surgical rubber gloves and dispose of when leaving.
4. School locker rooms, gyms, hospitals, bathrooms and all areas with higher germ possibilities should be disinfected as often as possible. Vapor Steam cleaners are a natural way also of killing the germs and easy to use often.
5. Avoid sharing of personal items like towels and bathroom items.
6. Wash clothing used in gyms or hospitals often in hot water.
7. Assure when visiting doctors' offices that all healthcare providers wash their hands with soap and water or disinfectant before caring for you.
8. Keep all wounds freshly bandaged and clean and disinfect wounds regularly.

In conclusion MRSA can easily be treated when immediately detected. Prevention is the best and for a low cost you can have tools available to keep yourself healthy against Staph infections. Stores and online stores offer sanitizers, cleaning solutions and even UV-C light tools that all help kill the germs that can harm your body while at the gym, hospital or other public contaminated areas.
