My 7 yr old nephew has mrsa ~ is it safe to have our annual pool party/field day? he will be on antibiotics for 8 days when the party is to happen.

MRSA Contagion: Yes. I would still have his wound covered if he is leaking any pus or other bodily fluids. But his likelihood of being contagious after that many days is slim.
