MRSA Notes

I am happy to see university systems in the U.S. being pro-active in the MRSA awareness area. Our schools here in my town (College Station, TX) are doing the very same thing. If you are in a university, you might visit the health services department just to give them a heads up to be aware of MRSA.
Valdosta State University - MRSA Health Advisory
Currently there are 2,000 residents living on campus and based on the current number of students with the infection, and pending confirmation/negation, the likelihood of a student contracting the infection is less than .01%. Debbie Reagan, nurse practitioner in the VSU Farber Health Services Center, stated that all the current students who do have the infection have been treated and have been educated on how to take care of themselves in a way that will not spread the infection to others.
