StaphAseptic Review

Anyone who has a child that plays sports knows that we moms get together and talk about everything from what we did last weekend to our latest concerns about our children. So when one of the children on the team developed a staph infection, it didn't take long for the details to circulate to all of us.

The story was scary, the child's infection turned out to be MRSA, methicillin resistant staph, and he spent 4 days in the hospital on strong antibiotics.  He did make it through OK.

After that experience, I decided to research preventative measures to avoid a similar situation with my own child. That is when I came across StaphAseptic.  Their website has a downloadable brochure at staphaseptic.com that explains what MRSA is and how to prevent it.

StaphAseptic is a new wound care treatment that can be found in the first aid aisle of your pharmacy and claims to kill MRSA bacteria. I have found that it feels good on my cuts. The gel is easy to apply, although the tube not always easy to open due to the child resistant cap, and it offers pain relief that seems to last.  My son has been trained to wash with soap and water and treat all cuts and scrapes with StaphAseptic - just to be on the safe side. 

I recommend keeping it on hand next to your bandages.
