Avoid MRSA’s From Preventing Muscle Building

Monday, May 5th, 2008

As this month’s M&F reports, MRSA (the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus outbreak) is a staph bacteria that has been infecting athletes and muscle-builders alike. Because of the sharing of gym equipment, spreading and contracting of this outbreak can actually be pretty easy to get….unless you take the obvious precautions. No, don’t avoid going to the local gym or recreational center if it’s going to mean you miss out on your all-important muscle building workouts. Do what you should be doing anyway to avoid germs and bacteria, constantly keep your hands clean, avoid touching anything you don’t need to touch, and keep a hand sanitizer near by at all times.
