Protect yourself: Do not walk barefoot in areas that are high risk forsustaining wounds or public bathroom/showers. Any wounds should be treated with antiseptic and covered. Monitor closely. When in doubt, consult with your doctor.

The precautions: Are just to inform a doctor if you should get an infection that you had MRSA in the past.
