Prevent MRSA in your facility today by placing these posters throughout your gyms, locker rooms, sports facilities, and schools.

Athletes at all levels of sports are facing a deadly opponent. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. These once rare bacteria have found a way into locker, weight, and training rooms across the country, and are threatening athletes. While these infections are treatable, extreme cases can require multiple surgeries to get rid of them. Prevent MRSA in your facility today by using simple, inexpensive measures.

The Take Care of Your Skin: Tips for Athletes2 (5 Pack), developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, provides an easy, affordable, and visible way to re-train players, gym members, and others on preventing the spread of infection. This 11x17 poster features soccer and conveys key reminder messages to practice good hygiene:

Wash hands.

Clean and cover cuts and scrapes.

Shower and use clean towels.

Report possible skin infections to a coach or athletic director.
