MRSA Notes

From Delaware Online:

After practice Thursday, the Archmere Academy wrestlers saw trainer Jim Malseed for a routine skin check. And before tonight’s match against Tatnall, they will see Malseed again.

That would be standard Archmere protocol under normal circumstances. But this week’s revelation that several Delaware high school wrestlers have contracted a hard-to-treat staph infection has many coaches and trainers exhibiting heightened vigilance.

“The main thing is, whenever you see something out of the ordinary, you need to get that checked out right away,” Malseed said. “The days of saying, ‘Oh, it’s nothing, don’t worry about it’ are over. You can’t do that anymore.”
