6. Who’s At Risk?

People that are most at risk from catching HA-MRSA include people that are staying in nursing homes. Indeed, it is relatively common but most people with the infection will not show any symptoms from it. Others include people that are staying in hospitals, particularly those that have undergone some sort of invasive medical procedure.

Those most at risk from CA-MRSA include people that live in crowded conditions, and homosexual men are also at a higher risk of catching the disease. Also in the higher risk category are people that take recreational drugs intravenously. Those that regularly take part in contact sports are also more likely to catch MRSA.
