Pretty much all of us have or have had staph on our skin at some point in time, it's just a matter of how it's treated, if it becomes infected, and how good your immune system is. Once it hits your blood stream, you have major problems.

Since I visit nursing homes as part of my job, I have always carried Purell with me, but I admit that I've become even more careful at this point. In the last two weeks, two of our clients were hospitalized with one ailment, but ended up with MRSA, which contributed to their deaths. I'm not planning to become a statistic.
