MRSA does not normally pose a risk to healthy adults or children. In fact, around one third of people are thought to carry it in their noses or on their skin, often referred to as being 'colonised'. But those who are healthy and carry it do not have any symptoms.
The bacteria only becomes a problem if the bacteria gets into the body for example through burns, surgical wounds, or the entry point for catheters or intravenous drips.
MRSA and SA can cause boils and abscesses, the skin infection impetigo, septic wounds, heart-valve infections, food poisoning, pneumonia and toxic shock syndrome. Taken from: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/21659.php
