This is a good basic video about the basics of MRSA and more importantly, the basics of prevention. Pay special attention to the examples of the types of wounds that you should always keep your eye out for on yourself and your children. Knowledge is your friend when dealing with MRSA, it can buy you the hours that mean the difference between death and survival.
Hat tip to HealthSalon - and read what they have to say here about MRSA, from the perspective of an acute care nurse. I wonder how many other nurses share the sentiments here.

This is a great video! Is it copyrighted? Can it be used for public education by other health departments in the U.S.?

Is there a video available for school use?

The video linked to from this site is available for $14.95 from the above website.
The video was produced by the Mecklenburg County (Charlotte, NC) Health Department and has been used all across the US in many settings.
Good luck in your interventions.

Hello-
What many people don’t realize is that their indoor home air quality “maintains” thier sickly condition because dirt, germs, dust mites, molds, virus and bacteria recirculate through the HVAC system even with filters. Especially in newer tightly sealed homes. The solution is technology that kills virus and bacteria. I had annoying problems with mold, allergies and smoke. I bought a product called Ecobox by Ecoquest. They put a NASA Space technology in it called ActivePure RCI. It works. I bought one for my smokey, moldy apt. bldg. also a couple small ones for my sisters kids’ bedrooms. I eventually bought a small mold inspection business.
check it out virusmersa.com
hope this helps
