Ok uncle had mrsa i know like 10 years ago never heard much since i accidently drank after him today should i be ok and not likely to have issue or should i talk to dr. and be worked up? info on saliva risk of past infec. is hard to decipher online?

There are MRSA staph germs around you every day and more strains evolve daily with the overuse of antibiotics for minoe colds. It accounts for 70% of the boils/pustules I lance in the outpatient office setting. I would not treat your uncle as a pariah as the condition is neither unusual nor worrisome in most settings.

There is almost no risk of getting MRSA after drinking after someone who had a MRSA infection in the past. No particular follow-up is needed in this scenario. Good luck.
