How To Avoid Recurring Outbreak Of MRSA?

My girlfriend has mrsa, and even when it gets under control, she is highly susceptible to contracting it again and getting a bad outbreak. I work in a gym and carry it easily. I am trying to find a detox or cleanse that I can do to prevent myself from infecting her over and over.

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr J.D Mangukiya answering your concern.
MRSA has tendency to spread easily in crowded area and also in hopstial environment and also in community
Most important way to prevent outbreak is wash your hands with soap and water or when you wash dishes. Rinsing is an important part of the cleaning process. Use these products for routine cleaning of surfaces.
Sanitizers are used to reduce germs from surfaces but not totally get rid of them. Sanitizers reduce the germs from surfaces to levels that are considered safe
Disinfectants are chemical products that destroy or inactivate germs and prevent them from growing
Use of Mupirocin ointment is effective way to eradicate the MRSA infections.
If repeatedly infection occur, then u have to do MRSA surveillance in people in your gym by taking nasal and axiilary swab samples because some people also carrying the MRSA and act as carriers
Please make surveillance and after that use mupirocin ointment and frequent hand hygine and also cleaning of instrument after use is only solution for you.
I will be happy to answer your further concern.
Thank you,
