Yes, you can potentially catch MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) by being in close contact with someone who has an active infection, especially if you touch contaminated surfaces or items. MRSA is spread through skin-to-skin contact or by touching surfaces contaminated with the bacteria. However, simply being in someone's house does not guarantee transmission; the risk is higher with direct contact or poor hygiene practices. It's important to maintain good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently, to reduce the risk of infection.
