Press Release - Alan Ashare MD & Bob Rogers -- You and I have been watching the TV news stories and some of us have been reading articles on the new strain of staff infection (MRSA, which stands for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is a strain of bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics.) and how it is passed from player to player. It's has become so serious and dangerous that is imperative to talk with our Massachusetts Hockey family about it; How it is spread and preventative measures to reduce or even better stop it's transmission?
HOW IT IS SPREADING?:MRSA spreads when someone comes in contact with an infected person. It can also be spread by touching contaminated objects like hockey equipment, clothing, sharing a towel or drinking from water bottles.
PREVENTION:"Never share towels or wash cloths because you could spread bacteria back and forth to each other." It's been reported in the last few years that hockey players both professional, college and amateur have all been infected with MRSA. Players/Players should change their post-game routine. "Coaches can inform players and parents to "Clean pads, uniforms, everything. Wash them after every use, practice, games etc. Keep everything clean". Bring a water bottle for their child. Experts say, we should no longer allow the inappropriate use of antibiotics "using them to treat colds and the flu has contributed to antibiotic resistance which seriously threatens all of our health".
There are so many informative websites that address this issue.
