MRSA

There is increasing national and local concern about MRSA (Multiply/Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) infections. Prevention is literally in the hands of each one of us.

• Wash your hands often.
• Take care of yourself: Eat right, exercise, quit smoking and avoid stress.
• Take good care of your skin.
• Keep skin infections covered to avoid spreading MRSA to others.
• If you develop a skin infection, please come to the Student Health Center for evaluation and treatment.
