There has been some news floating around that some major fighters in the UFC have acquired Staph Infection. What is Staph Infection? WebMD describes Staph Infection as follows:

It is a type of infection caused by a Staphylococcus (or “staph”) bacteria. Actually, about 25% of people normally carry staph in the nose, mouth, genitals, and anal area. The foot is very prone to pick up bacteria from the floor. The infection often begins with a little cut, which gets infected with bacteria.

These staph infections range from a simple boil to antibiotic-resistant infections to flesh-eating infections. The difference between all these is how deep and how fast the infection spreads, and how treatable it is with antibiotics. The antibiotic-resistant infections are more common in North America, because of our overuse of antibiotics.

The type of staph infection that involves skin is called cellulitis and affects the skin’s deeper layers. It is treatable with antibiotics.

This type of infection is very common in the general population — and more common and more severe in people with weak immune systems. People who have diabetes or weakened immunity are particularly prone to developing cellulitis.

C’mon! Who wants a flesh eating infection? How do you prevent from these types of infections? Stop using common soap after training and use an antifungal, antibacterial soap like GymSoap. GymSoap is rather inexpensive and one 12oz bottle can last up to 2 months. If you own a gym, make sure you look into GymSoap’s wholesale option and lets all cut out those nasty infections.
