A strain of the bacterium methicill-reistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has spread to gyms and health clubs.
To protect yourself don’t share towels, put a clean towel over workout mats and wipe down equipment with alcohol which most gyms will have in house.
See your doctor if you have signs of skin infection: boils or a localized, painful rash that doesn’t heal.
While this strain is less deadly than the version found in hospitals, it is now the cause of skin related visits to the emergency room.
