This could quite possibly be the stupidest post in the history of message board posting. You could absolutely get MRSA from the methods he is describing. I got MRSA in my shoulder from an open wound I received from getting thrown off a horse, and I was very sick for a very long time.

Amateur wrestlers, BJJ practitioners, and anyone else that rolls around on a mat have also been picking up MRSA at ridiculous rates.

LeCharles Bentlety has yet to play a down of football with the Cleveland Browns because he contracted MRSA in his knee while rehabbing from knee surgery. It was determined that he contracted it from the Browns locker room, where they had a mini MRSA outbreak...
