yes....

Quote From: housewife52

Thank you for the information. I went to the site. I'm glad to know that only 1% are colonized with MRSA. I DO wash my hands frequently. (No OCD-I just like to keep my hands clean) I hope we don't see an increase in this thing anytime soon. It's ironic how a hospital environment can contribute to this, we tend to go there with the idea of getting some help. Kinda between a rock and a hard spot. Because there are just simply times when a hospital visit for one reason or another cannot be avoided. I have been fortunate in my life, other than visiting someone in the hospital, I have only been hospitalized to give birth.(twice)

 

Good to be heard.  :)

 

Hospitals are germ sewers, I'll give you that (it's full of sick people).  Nothing is a guarantee, but as long as you keep your hands clean (and you do) and seek attention for anything that looks suspicious (the sooner you're able to treat it, the better), and youre in pretty good health then you're odds of getting it aren't high.  If you have a season pass to the hospital and/or are immunocompromised,  your odds go up.
