This winds me up particularly as I am a student nurse...

Yes MRSA is a threat, but it responds well to antibiotics that the MRSA isn't resistant to, Vancomycin being the main one used.

Most healthy people are not at risk of getting the infection if precautions are taken i.e. hand washing/hand gels.

The reason that it is contracted mainly in hospitals is because people here already have a weakened immune system, open wounds (including catheters/venflons etc.)

People on large, frequent courses of antibiotics are at risk too. (this is how the infection exists in the first place, research MRSA...)

Anyways, lecture over. :thumbsup:
lol thats why i go private, they have gels everywhere.
