MRSA

Uhhh, that name just makes me CRINGE! 

Horrible bacteria, Staphylococcus Aureus to be exact that has over time become resistant to a lot of our highly effective, but expensive antibiotics. 

How you may be wondering? 

Well, let's start with the overuse of antibacterial agents in soaps, detergents, cleaning products, just to name a few. 

The FDA is now requiring companies to reformulate or simply pull those products off the shelves indefinitely. You can read more here. 

Second, would be us, the lovely human beings that we are! :-) We are prescribed antibiotics for colds & infections and sometimes after only 2-3 sort days of using them, we think we are fine and we leave it in the medicine cabinet for the next time we "feel ill". 
We, that my friends is a HUGE no, no. That little note on the bottle that says "Take all this medicine as prescribed" is there for a reason!!! 
You see, the way medicine (specifically antibiotics) works, it's designed to slowly kill the bacteria over time and causes the infection concentration to drop to a lower more manageable concentration that your body (more specifically your White Blood Cells) can then fight off. :-) 

Well, the purpose for this blog is, this MRSA is found on gym equipment.

Read for yourself. 

I know that many of you have set resolutions to lose weight, tighten & tone, or simply to get more fit. 
Regardless of your choice (Congratulations for making one and sticking to it), you should be educated on the risks at hand and how you can lower your chances if you are using public gym equipment. 

Most gyms (if not all) have some form of fighting this horrible bacteria whether it's wipes or a spray and paper towels.

I ultimately choose something that is certified organic & toxic free. I HATE bleach and it's horrible side-effects (runny nose, watery eyes, difficulty breathing, dried out hands, who in the HECK wants these while trying to concentrate and get your work out done?) NOT me, no thanks! 

I use Mommy's Club Perfect Touch Sanitizer, only $10.95 a bottle. 

Interested in the Sanitizing fact sheet, listing the results of the varying tests on bacteria, viruses, and fungi?
