Do you think you can have mrsa and not know it?

Sure!: Staph skin infections though will fail to heal, and you should seek advice asap for any non healing skin lesion or rash.

Yes: You can be a carrier, and without an active lesion, or sore, you can have it and spread it. You can treat it by using bactroban, (mupirocin) or Mupirocin ointment.
