How Is MRSA Transmitted?
My uncle has MRSA and I ve had way too much contact with him before finding this out. I was touching him, his bed, his cup and I even ran my finger across a blister on his leg wondering what it was. Now I m scared to death of getting it. What do I do? See my doctor?

Hello,
There is no need to see a doctor unless you yourself develop a skin infection. I suggest you use a hand sanitizer before and after any sort of skin to skin contact with your uncle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
