MRSA: One bout of MRSA is nothing to worry about. Your immune system was compromised at that time. Mrsa is everywhere! you may come in contact with it on a daily basis but will not contract it if you stay healthy. Hand washing with soap and water is the best way to prevent infection not hand sanitizers so wash your hands and be healthy to keep it away!
