Here are some of the best ways to prevent MRSA:Wash your hands thoroughly. Use soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Experts suggest that you wash your hands for as long as it takes you to recite the alphabet.Cover cuts and scrapes with a clean bandage. This will help the wound heal. It will also prevent you from spreading bacteria to other people.Do not touch other people's wounds or bandages.Do not share personal items like towels or razors. If you use shared gym equipment, wipe it down before and after you use it. Dry clothes, sheets, and towels in a dryer rather than letting them air dry.
