Decolonize the skin: Best way to keep MRSA from hanging around on the skin is to eliminate the bacteria from inside the nose by using a 2% Mupirocin ointment (bactroban (mupirocin) nasal) in the nose twice daily and taking a daily diluted bleach bath (30-minute soak in weak bleach water) for five days. Mix 1/2 cup clorox bleach (sodium hypochlorite) into your bath tub that is 1/4 filled with lukewarm water.
