How contagious is MRSA?
I work at a daycare, my daughter who is 9 also attends the daycare after school. We just found out that there is a girl in the 4 yr. old room who has MRSA. In the past week her older sister who goes to school with my daughter and also attend the daycare after school had something that looked very similar to MRSA, but everyone said that it looked like a spider bite. I didn't think so. I guess I am just wondering if my daughter and the children in the daycare are going to get this and will Lysol or bleach water kill the bacteria on the toys and tables. Also should I do anything with my home like our clothes, or would just washing in regular detergent be okay.
