Our Opponent: Staph

Here’s the game plan to Sack staph!

OFFENSE:

• Do wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water!!!
• Do wash your clothes and towels daily!
• Do use a clean, dry, towel!
• Do keep cuts and scrapes, no matter how small, clean and covered!
• Do wash your hands! This is the best way to prevent the spread of Staph and other infectious diseases!
• Do tell your coach, athletic trainer, or school nurse if you have an insect bite, spider bite, boil, or sore bump.
  

DEFENSE:

• Don’t share towels!
• Don’t share soap! Bring your own and keep it in your locker.
• Don’t come in contact with other people’s wounds and bandages!
• Don’t place your hands and fingers near your nose and groin!
  

Don’t let Staph take you out of the game . . .
