The NFL is going through a rash of rashes.
It’s serious. Bacteria resistant to antibiotics, new strains of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) are hitting our favorite athletes.
Tom Brady (right), Peyton Manning and Kellen Winslow are just some of the stars laid low.
But this is not just about our Sunday heroes. It’s also about your kids and your choices for them. Are they still ready for some football?
MRSA is getting nastier because there are now multiple strains of it, and because football is a game where cuts are common. So-called community MRSA is caught in the locker room, then mixes with the nastier type in a hospital when you go in for treatment.
