Staph is a type of bacteria that is present on the skin of healthy people. When staph bacteria enter a break in the skin, they may cause skin infections that look like pimples or boils. Staph infections may be red, swollen, painful or have pus or other drainage. MRSA is a staph infection resistant to certain antibiotics but is treatable with others. See a doctor at the first sign of any symptoms because MRSA develops quickly, entering the bloodstream and possibly causing pneumonia, which can be fatal.
Prevention includes:
Washing your hands often, using soap;
Keeping your cuts and scrapes clean and covered with bandages;
Not touching cuts or bandages on others; and
Not sharing personal items, such as towels, sports equipment and water bottles.
A physician's certificate is required when returning to school following MRSA or other communicable disease.
