The Resisting Staph

After my research with New York City Department of Health Bureau of Communicable Diseases, I encountered the drug resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, otherwise known as a staph infection. Staph Infections are skin infections that are difficult to get rid of in close communities. They develop opportunistically through skin abrasions forming pus filled layers below the skin. The deeper the infection travels below the skin, the more destruction it can cause to the body. Self examinations to identify physical appearances include pus, rashes, redness, and swelling aid in containing a possible outbreak. Staph spreads by skin to skin contact and more commonly by sharing equipment, uniforms, and towels. Prevent contamination by washing your hands, covering abrasions, and keep your belongings personal. For all my martial artists...keep clean and fight dirty!!
