A member asked:
My dog has a wound that was diagnosed to be infected with e coli and mrsa. can my husband and i get it? what will our symptoms be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: MRSA often causes skin infections, so would see an infected wound. Can usually be prevented with good hand washing (use soap, and sing "Happy Birthday" in your head while washing hands to insure adequate time) after caring for or touching dog's wound. Once antibiotics and dog's immune system get upper hand, should not be a problem.
