Most often caused by not using proper hygiene and/or sharing clothes and towels
Easiest way to avoid MRSA is to not let anyone wear your clothes, use your towels and practice proper hygiene at all times
Can only be diagnosed by a physician and you can’t return to play until cleared by a physician or Miss Twiford
Let Miss Twiford know of any unusual sores or spots that develop on your body for diagnosis
