A member asked:
If someone had surgery, as a result got a staph infection afterwards. are they contagious? safe to hug or kiss them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its safe: Yes..its safe. Believe it or not..most people nowadays are colonized with what you would refer to as "regular" staph...and many of us even MRSA. Just use universal precautions and hand washing.
