Symptoms of MRSA

You can become infected with MRSA bacteria in the following ways:

• Via skin to skin contact with another person who is carrying MRSA
  
• Via skin contact with surfaces that have been touched and infected by someone carrying MRSA.  Be particularly careful of bathroom towels, shaving kits, and other grooming products.
• Less likely, but also possible to get infected from dust that contains skin particles carrying MRSA

If you come into contact with someone who is infected with MRSA, avoid skin to skin contact and wash your hands frequently.
