MRSA. Can you wash it off your hands if you make contact with infected objects/people?

315 views

Information online is just not clear enough about this. There’s a lot of talk about washing hands but does washing your hands after touching an infected object/person actually PREVENT you from becoming a carrier? As in, can you just wash MRSA off should you get it on your hands? I started working in a care home with someone who has it and do NOT want to become a carrier by any means but it’s impossible for me not to touch anything at all.

There is no 100% guarantee in life. Just a bunch of swiss cheese, that you can stack on top of each other to make a ~100%.

Example: Coronavirus. If you wear a mask, it reduces the chance of catching it. If you get vaccinated, it reduces the chance of a bad case. If you keep distance from each other, it reduces the chance to get infected.

If you do all of the above, that’s a solid defense against it.
