If my patient with mrsa, who sucks on her fingers, whacked my mouth with her wet fingers.. could i contract it too?

Infection vs coloniz: Rather complicated question. 1st, MRSA is everywhere. 90% of hospitals can find MRSA on a surface somewhere if you take enough swabs. 2nd, MRSA colonization (on the skin) doesn't mean "contracting" an infection (symptoms). MRSA has to bypass skin & get into the blood. (An open cut or wound from her "whacking" can do it). Lastly, your immune system plays a role. Some are susceptible; others aren't.
