Saskatchewan MRSA Rates Lower Than Many Places

Saskatchewan health officials want to warn their communities that although their infection rates are smaller than many other Canadian provinces, they are still as susceptable to MRSA as the rest of the world. Interesting as compared to the rates in Santa Clara County from earlier, Saskatchewan had 1.219 cases in 2005, which rose to 1,596 in 2006, with January 2007 reporting 152 cases already. One interesting thing I saw in this article that I hadn’t seen before are the “Five C’s” that increase risk of MRSA:

  • Crowding
  • Frequent Contact
  • Compromised skin
  • Contaminated surfaces
  • Cleanliness

Good thing to consider in every situation you are in. Stay clean! :)
