Why don't people shake hands?

People still shake hands sometimes, it is just not a very common way to greet someone in this generation. Most of the time, people greet by a high five or just saying hi. People usually shake hands to show they are greeting the person and that they are happy to meet them.I have found shaking hands a more intimate gesture than what most situations call for. I prefer the nod or the bow for people I have just met. Shaking hands is more suited for a congratulation for an achievement or for people I know and haven't seen for a while.Another Contributer adds:It is also done upon introductions, and can also be used as a means to assess another person and/or their demeanor. Shaking hands is also as much of a response as the refusal to do so is.

Do persons with server runny nose from allergies are most likey to be carriers of MRSA?

No. Everyone who works in a hospital or other medical facility is taught proper hand washing technique. Since American litigation procedures are spreading world wide, proper hand washing techniques are being taught to food processing workers. MRSA is a bacterial disease normally spread when a health care worker takes care of one patient and does not properly wash his or her hands before seeing the next patient. As a result, the MRSA bacteria travels from patient to patient. Allergies have nothing to do with it. Today restaurant workers and food processing workers are being checked on to make sure they wash their hands, especially after coming to work and using a toilet. It is far less expensive to have an employee spend a minute hand washing than to face a lawsuit for millions. Proper hand washing involves interlocking fingers not just rubbing the palms of your hands together.

A co-worker came to work with sores on his arm often touching it thoughout the day he went to the dr he was diagnosed with MRSA and was hospitalized Should we be worried in the office?

Your office should be practicing safe hygiene. Handwashing is the single most important means of preventing the spread of disease. MRSA can be virulent but you can protect yourself by very simple methods. Handwashing is the biggest, also, dont share eating utensils, drinking glassess etc. Just keep it clean and when you wash your hands, use soap and get a lather going, its the lather that floats the germs up and allows them to be rinsed away. Use paper towels or air dryers for hand drying to prevent re-contaminating your hands

Can you catch MRSA if you are on antibiotics?

Yes you can. MRSA is a multi drug resistant Staff aureus bacteria. If you are on an antibiotic that the MRSA is resistant to, then it's as if you not taking any antibiotic. Keep in mind that the reason we have MRSA is because of the widespread use of antibiotics. We often use them unnecessarily for viral infections. These constant exposures allow the bacteria, not just this one, to adapt and survive.
