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.
Can you work in public if you are MRSA carrier?
No MRSA is contagious and they close hospitals down for it :)
