Most, if not the entire human race carries staph in one form or another and as far as I know, the entire human race is not currently suffering too many ill effects from it. Most also harbour MRSA in their noses, which is why you should always wash your hands in a hospital setting!

How long are you contagious with mrsa before you show signs?
MRSA (methylcillian resistant staph aureus) is a staph infection that is resistant to most antibiotics. There are many kinds of staph germs. If you have MRSA your infection will not "look" any different than someone with non-MRSA staph. A person can "carry" the MRSA germ without ever actually having the infection. If they have an open wound, the germ can infect it (via touch/contact) and cause the wound to have a hard time healing until super strong antibiotics are used. Once someone has MRSA, they are considered "positive" always. Summary: You can be "contagious" and NEVER show symptoms.
