MRSA Guidelines
Lovejoy ISD is focused on maintaining an environment that decreases the likelihood of an MRSA outbreak. Please review some of the resources below to develop an understanding of the challenge at hand. The Texas Department of State Health Services recommends the following guidelines to avoid infection:
v Practice good hygiene, especially regular hand washing
v Do not share personal items such as razors or towels
v Thoroughly clean shared items—toys, telephones—using a 1:100 bleach-water solution
v Cover open wounds or cuts with a clean, dry bandage
Seek medical attention if symptoms occur. Symptoms include fever or persistent draining, and bleeding or red streaks at the infected site. Some MRSA are resistant to commonly used antibiotics.
