At first staph was supposed to have come from the hospital and you got it by coming into contact with someone that had the infection already. However now you can see staph infection in someone that has not had a stay in the hospital. They come from your skin and typically don't bother you at all. It is bacteria that is normally on your skin and when you get a cut or scratch then it flares up and becomes a problem.
