RSA or methicillin resistant staphylococcus
aureus is one of the most dangerous infectious agents known
to man today. It is more virulent than SARS, Bird Flu or Swine
Flu. At the slightest infection, boils can appear that can
lead to extremity damage that may lead to amputation or cause
death of the patient. However not all individuals that have
MRSA contract the insidious effects of the disease. These
types of individuals are called ‘MRSA carriers’
and anyone, healthy or not, can be a host.
An MRSA carrier is anyone who has returned positive results
of the bacteria, but have not suffered any symptoms of infection.
There are certain individuals that are considered to be high-risk
MRSA carriers. These are:
- If you have suffered a bout of MRSA infection, then you
are considered an immediate carrier.
- If you work in a medical setting where patients with compromised
immune systems, then you are at high risk both as a carrier
and as a sufferer of the MRSA bacteria.
- If you have had skin to skin contact with an individual
who has suffered or is suffering from MRSA infections. When
this happens, your skin may become a host to the MRSA bacteria
or you yourself may fall victim to the disease.
- If you work in a place where individuals that suffer from
MRSA infections have been found. The MRSA bacteria can reside
on surfaces or in items that have been used by those with
the disease.
Once you fall within any of the descriptions abovementioned,
you need to seek out medical assistance due to the health
risks associated with the dangers involved with MRSA infections.
As an MRSA carrier, you can pass on the pathogen to others
and spread the infection without being aware of doing so.
On the other hand, if MRSA is present on you, you are susceptible
to contract the infection once it enters through the break,
or opening of the skin.
In order to avoid contracting the effects of the MRSA infection
and prevent the spread to others, here are some tips to go
about the prevention of the spread of the MRSA infection.
- Wash thoroughly. A potential MRSA carrier should wash
their body with antiseptic soap and moisturize their skin
after bathing. You should also scrub beneath fingernails
to prevent the MRSA bacteria residing in these areas of
the body.
- Clean the home. The house should be disinfected with antiseptics,
especially in the bathroom as bacteria are prone to reside
in these areas.
- Avoid sharing personal items. Even with washing, some
of the MRSA bacteria are able to survive on certain items
and infect others. These include shavers, shirts and underwear.
