Many come in contact with MRSA via hospital treatment and about 1% of the population are thought to carry it in many countries around the world. Community Acquired MRSA is a different type of MRSA. It mainly causes skin infections and can be treated by more drugs. It does spread faster and can do more damage than the hospital strain to those it infects. In some cities around the world up to 10% of people may be carrying CA MRSA.
Catching SA or MRSA is not going to mean that in weeks you will become ill. It could be decades before you suffer as a result of being colonised. The challenge for many is that MRSA can create severe complications for those suffering from other medical conditions. It attacks the vulnerable at their times of greatest weakness.
