Assuming MRSA: MRSA is a bacteria that generally requires physical transfer from one person to another. This can be done through an intermediate innanimate object. If there is concern about MRSA exposure, then thorough washing will be a reasonable precaution. The odds of catching it depend on too many vaiables to give a specific number.
