Don't use too much sanitizer b/c it can dry out your hands & cause them to be "open" due to cracking. Now, if she's gotten a respiratory infection w/MRSA contained in the droplets, then you definitely could have a higher risk of exposure.ĮTA: hand washing is the #1 preventative. Unless you are directly exposed to the boil (ie: touching it), or touching stuff she touches where the virus can live (b/c you never know the hygiene of any person) & you have an open area, it is not contagious. I just know when my grandfather had MRSA a few years ago, he was pretty much quarantined. I'm sanitizing my hands like crazy and she says she santized everything she touched in the office.Īnyone have advice or experience? Trying not to freak out or google too much. Also, she's planning to come in today for a few minutes because she has to get her things. Also, with sharing a toilet, it seems like I could have come across the bacteria even though I do of course wash my hands and am cautious. Of course I wash my hands a lot, but I didn't know she had this, so I'm sure I've touched surfaces she's touched without immediately washing my hands.
#More cautious with all my patients and coworkers skin
Her wound is on her butt.but supposedly the bacteria can live on skin and different surfaces. She even hugs me a lot (she tries to act like my mom- older, motherly type). We work in a very small office.share the same bathroom, phones, touch all the same surfaces, etc. She had it last week while I was working with her, but they didn't know it was MRSA. she has a boil on her butt and has been really sick from it. I just found out (after being OOT since Thursday) that a lady I work closely with has an active MRSA infection. Anyone know much about MRSA? I have a call in to my doctor, but wanted to check here too.
