Antibiotic-Resistant Staph Infection Discovered in Kansas City

By
Real Estate Agent with North Kansas City Real Estate, Reece and Nichols Residential

Initially the Staph Infection started out in Kansas, but it didn't take it long to jump the river and hit the Northland.

Wednesday a Fox Hill Elementary student was confirmed with having the staph infection.

North Kansas City school officials say the most recent case poses little threat and the student has been allowed to keep attending school.

Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA can be life threatening.  The biggest preventative is to WASH YOUR HANDS!

Fran, I am a freak about washing my hands and get teased all the time about the number of times I wash them. But they can tease all they want I am not taking any chances on where someone else's hands have been :)
