The best form of defense is to protect yourself from never getting staph. My baby recently suffered from staph and it was horrible. It started as a pimple like break in the skin on her little arm and within 3 days we were in the hospital for 2 days.
My doctor recommended that I disinfect and sterilize my house before we brought Ethan home with some hospital strength disinfectants to kill any mrsa or staph currently in our house and to prevent any future staph infections. He had me call a company called Q-based Healthcare for their disinfectants and skin disinfectants. They have a division called PuraCleenRx. You can go to their website http://www.puracleenrx.com/staph
to get more information. I washed Ethan’s little arm with the body wash and we washed our hands regularly; especially before handling him.
I hope that this will help someone else from getting staph in their home. I will be happy to share more information with anyone if you want to email me direct.
