No I do not think schools are doing everything they can to protect agianst MRSA. I do not think most of us are doing what we should. I know I am doing everything I can for my family to keep from getting MRSA because we have already had it. In 2005 my mom, niece, daughter, aunt and son all got MRSA. My mom got it from being in the hospital and she gave it to my daughter and niece. I worked at Hillcrest and had no clue about MRSA and I brought it home to my 9 month old son. My aunt worked at a nursing home and had never heard of MRSA because she worked in the kitchen and she got MRSA. I have known so many people that have gotten MRSA before anyone know what it was. I do believe that the CDC should of told us about MRSA along time ago. We might not be having the problems we are having if the public would of known about it. I was so mad at my self when I found out I was the reason my 9mo old son got this extreamly painful staph. I just could not believe I had caused my son so much pain. My mom was in the same boat. She went in to the hopsital to have surgery and later found out she had MRSA and gave it to her granddaughters. She watched the pain they were in and she was in the same pain and it was her fault that she gave it to the girls but the hospitals fault that my mom got it.
I also have a sister that got MRSA from being in jail.
I do not think that the schools, nursing homes, prisions, jails, or hospitals are doing all they can to cut down the spread of MRSA. I do believe MRSA will stay the number one killer because no one wants to believe it can happen to them and so there for no one is going to do what they can to keep for getting it.
