A member asked:
What to do if i have mrsa, can i give it to someone if i rub my eye or just thru saliva?

Possibly: Mrsa is just a type of resistant staph bacteria. Like most infections, it is potentially transmisable but most likely you have nothing to worry. Just wash your hands and keep your infected area clean and covered.

Yes: Mrsa is usually spread by skin-to-skin contact. If you have it in your eye and transfer to your skin after rubbing your eye, it is possible this could spread to another person. Hand washing is advised.
