MRSA is short for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus which is also referred to as a Staph Infection.  It's a fairly common infection that plagues many people around the world.  It's a bacteria that is popular because it's resistant to many commonly used antibiotics.  If you become infected with MRSA you may start to experience sores or boils that are similar to that of a spider bites.  They will be red,  swollen, inflammed, and have drainage. Because it's resistant to common antibiotics it becomes necessary to push strong antibiotics such as Bactrim, clindamycin, minocycline, or doxycycline. In order to prevent this infection you should properly wash your hands often, make sure your sores, scrapes, and cuts are cleaned and covered until they heal up, and wearing PPE while around infected people.
