Mrsa: MRSA is pretty ubiquitous and in the community anyway. Since you used gloves the likelihood is decreased and would not worry . Would wash carefully with soap and water, hands and face may also consider using Hibiclen, an antiseptic cleaner over intact skin/ hands ( not mucus membranes of eyes, ears, genitals/ gluteal fold-as it burns). As you did always use gloves but do not worry.
