MRSA is everywhere: Mrsa is a bacteria that is everywhere, not just on infected people. Mrsa is considered an opportunistic pathogen, which means that if it is at the right place and the wrong time in a susceptible individual, then problems can arise. Proper hand washing will most likely suffice.

Worry doesn't help.: Good hand washing and avoiding skin contact with actively infected persons is the best way to prevent infection. But, MRSA can be on your skin and not cause a skin infection. It simply lives on our skin and in our nasal passages.
