Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a deadly form of staph that is resistant to most antibiotics. It used to be found only in hospitals and nursing homes.

Now it is common in public places, such as health clubs, gyms and school locker rooms, where it infects healthy people in the prime of life. In the past decade, several young athletes have died from staph infections they picked up in their school locker rooms.

STAPH IS JUST ONE OF MANY BACTERIA AND VIRUSES THAT INHABIT SURFACES IN PUBLIC PLACES. A PARTIAL LIST INCLUDES:

• MRSA
• Rhinoviruses, cause of the common cold
• Funguses that cause athlete’s foot
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Ringworm

Most of these germs are not life threatening, but they can make people sick with a range of ailments from skin conditions to colds and the flu. If you own or manage a facility where there is a possibility to infect your members or customers, you are responsible.
