I am no more concerned at contracting CA-MRSA than the common cold. It’s all in your best practices in my humble opinion. I unfortunately always see through the eyes as a nurse, so I diligently wash my hands, use my own towels, and of course pay attention to any open skin scratches/wounds.
Thanks for the thoughts!!

As a trainer, what kinds of precautions do you think are good for the gym? Are you as a trainer concerned – more so as a trainer than a nurse – about contracting community acquired MRSA?
