What’s with Athletes and Staph Infections?
1-liner October 22nd. 2008, 12:00pmStaph Infections: The Browns are the latest team to scrap with the staph. Previously, the Rams and the USC Trojans ran into the annoying disease. “Staph is a common bug that lives on the skin. It usually doesn’t cause a problem, but it can get into open wounds — like the abrasions that are routine for football players — and cause infection. What’s more, sharing personal items such as towels or razors in the locker room can spread the bug from player to player.” (Wall Street Journal)
