Real infection?: Many people have MRSA living on their skin without causing any problems or ever invading. There are a variety of different MRSA strains, and it's a basic error to think that having one cultured from a site that does not seem diseased means a person is in any trouble. Wash your hands frequently with soap, and keep close tabs on your body. Thanks for asking.

It shouldn't.: If the MRSA was diagnosed by a skin culture it won't necessarily get into your blood. If it does you will get a fever and get very sick.
