I was bit by a kid and contracted MRSA 8 years ago. I spent a month in bed.

Did they put the kid down?

Ok; that was funny

Yikes. That is hard to get rid of. I hope USF takes precaution based on the severity of this.

I thought that the MRSA was in One Buc Place locker room.

I have yet to lose any sleep over this. Put me in the not worried column.

I wouldn't worry too much about MRSA. It lives in its usual form on your skin every day, and around half of us in Tampa have MRSA living on us and don't know it. Normal staph bacteria just acquire resistance to typical early generation antibiotics, but not additional propensity to cause infection. No need for concern. Normal immune systems will keep it at bay like all the rest of the bacteria which cohabitate with you around the clock.

Other NFL teams have been afraid of it.  I believe it was the Panthers that put towels all over the floor so they wouldn't have to walk on any surfaces.  Falcons were also skeeved out a bit by it.

I was worried about Bridewater getting MRSA BEFORE the Bucs could draft him.
