Everyday everyone is faced with infection. Our bodies are in a constant struggle to fight off the very things that are harmful to our bodies. Unclean public areas and hygiene are the main sources to contracting various infections. MRSA or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is an incredibly dangerous infection. It is resistant to many important antibiotics including methicillin and penicillin. It belongs to the Staphylococci group of bacteria, which is commonly referred to staph, which is the cause of staph infections.

Staph infections are when the harmful bacterium lives on the skin, and at this point remains harmless. The only time it becomes harmful is when the skin is broken, enabling the infection to enter the body. Staph infections can also live in the nose as well, and about a third of the population can have a staph infection, without even knowing it and about 1% of these people have the MRSA strand. These people snowing no symptoms are "colonized" but can still pas on the infection. Most staph infections are not deadly, but the antibiotic resistant strand of MRSA can lead to potential death.

Good hygiene is the best and easiest way to limit the spread of staph infections and MRSA. Washing your hands regularly with soap and hot water is definitely the best thing you can do because hand-to-hand contact with people and other objects happens several times a day. Using alcohol based sanitizers are an even better way to keep your hands clean. Keeping cuts and scrapes clean and covered until they are completely healed is another good way to stop the spread of the disease. And also, avoiding contact with other people's scrapes, wounds, bandages as well as not sharing personal items likes towels, razors and clothing is not only a good way to prevent the spread of MRSA and other staph infections, but also to stop the spread of other diseases and infections as well.

About a third of the people on earth carry some form of staph infections. Even if you don't show symptoms that are common with staph infections, it is still important that you keep good hygiene. Keeping good hygiene is the only way to prevent the spread of staph infections, especially the incredibly dangerous and deadly MRSA staph infection. Once you get the MRSA it is incredibly hard to treat, and it's important that if you do have symptoms of a staph infection, that you talk to you doctor as soon as possible.
