By following these simple and easy hygiene tips, your odds of contracting not only MRSA but other germs at your local health club will be minimized. Of course, one can never completely eliminate the risk completely, but that was always true, even before CA-MRSA hit the scene. If you do have a skin lesion that is becoming very red, is draining pus, is warm to the touch and enlarging, see your doctor immediately. Otherwise, grab your towel and get to work.
