Nothing is Worsa than MRSA

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy examine the facts about the MRSA virus. (MRSA is not a virus – Thanks Nathan) There has been a dramatic rise in the number of people infected with MRSA. In fact several NFL stars have been hospitalized over the last few years. MRSA affects mostly men. Doctors are seeing it more in healthy males who plays sports – they will get a skin cut or burn then moisture from the shower, where the bacteria lays and waits makes it easy to infect the person. If you have an abcess or cut that is infected and is not healing properly get it checked out. You don’t want to mess with MRSA. About 100,000 people are infected each year.
