A member asked:
I have nose mrsa can my partner n her daughter catch it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carrier state: The inner lining of the nose is a common breeding ground for germs. The moisture supports the water needs and any drainage feeds them. The human tendency to touch their nose several times per hour both provides germs access to and a chance to be spread as the fingers touch other objects.Antibiotic ointment at the nasal entrance, and or oral antibiotics can reduce the chance of spread
