MRSA has been around for a long time. It's nothing new. It's been lurking around hospitals forever. The reason it is getting so much news coverage now is that there are more reported cases in people who have not been in the hospital, nor who have a chronic illness.
People do NOT need to panic.
The NUMBER ONE prevention is hand washing. If you DO get MRSA, it is very treatable. But again, prevention is the best "cure".
It's scary, yes, but not an epidemic. Just be careful.
