MRSA and pets

Now you have to worry about getting MRSA from your dog.

  1. 'frequent washing or sanitizing of hands before and after playing with a pet.'

    Good one! I wonder if the author of that piece of advice has ever actually owned a pet.

    Also, they show a picture of a dog but when you read the article:

    'The one variable that overwhelmingly predicted the presence of the germ was the presence of a cat. Cat owners were eight times more likely than others to have MRSA at home.'

    Just saying.....
