MRSA - Athletes need to practice more than just their sport. Practicing simple hand and surface sanitizing can limit antibiotic-resistant infections at the gym. Athletes and coaches should know that you have a better chance than average of contracting a skin infection that resists most antibiotics and can prove fatal under certain circumstances. Simple practices such as wiping down equipment and using disinfecting wipes between workouts can wipe out most super-bugs effectively and it is convenient.
Though MRSA is not new, it is still something that everyone, especially those in contact sports shoud be aware of due to the potential risks. Understanding the symptoms can help one to know if they may have this nasty bug. If you even suspect that you may, be sure to consult with a medical professional.
