A member asked:
If i borrow item of clothing from person who had mrsa infection a few years ago (treated) but does not have active infection now, will i still get it?

No: Relax. We are all exposed to this germ from time to time. Many of us carry it in our noses or on our skin with no harm. It is very common.
