What causes staph infection?
Staph infections, also known as MRSA, are bacteria that cause boils and legions to the skin. Usually, the infections are caused by bacteria passed on by the hands from one person to another. In addition, open wounds and cuts can be contaminated easily and poor health and living in overcrowded conditions can contribute to the infection being transmitted. Practicing good hygiene can reduce the likelihood of your getting staph infections or a recurrence. This involves washing the hands frequently and also using hand-sanitizers.
