The Fight Professor: Buy Gym Hygiene Products and Sanitizers

Staphylococcus aureus also commonly called Staph, is a gram positive micro bacterium found normally on the skin or in the nose of a person, that can cause a range of illnesses from minor skin infections, such as pimples, impetigo, boils, cellulitis and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases, such as pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis, Toxic shock syndrome (TSS), and septicemia.

It occur as a commensal bacteria on human skin (particularly the scalp, armpits and groins); it also occurs in the nose (in about 25% of the population) and throat and less commonly, may be found in the colon and in urine. Finding of Staph under these circumstances does not always indicate infection and therefore does not always require treatment.

However, Staph infection affects more people than AIDS and HIV and poses a serious threat to humans in it's most nastiest form, MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Dubbed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), it was one of the first germs to outwit all but the most powerful drugs. MRSA infection can be fatal.

MRSA is spread through person to person contact or contamination via inanimate object such as towels in cases of gyms and spas,bed linens and other objects found in the hospital setting.

Emphasis on basic hand washing techniques are therefore effective in preventing the transmission of MRSA. The use of disposable aprons and gloves by staff reduces skin-to-skin contact and therefore further reduces the risk of transmission.

Also, the H1N1 (Swine Flu) outbreak has been one of the top most priorities by the CDC and to help stop the spread of this kind of flu it is recommended that the use of sanatizing products be used so that transmission could be prevented.

I would recommend the use of these disinfectants or sanitizing agents that you could use before and after hitting the gym or just carry it along wherever you go.
