Cleanliness is important to any health facility. Contacting a staph infection because of dirty equipment is a serious health issue facing workout enthusiasts. So what exactly is staph or staphylococcus? It’s a type of bacteria that lives for the most part harmlessly on the skin of our bodies near the nose, mouth, anus and genitals.

When the skin is punctured, a staph infection can enter the body. You may have a small cut on your hands? Cuticles are portals to your body. Person to person contact especially sharing the same equipment and not keeping that equipment free from bacteria is an open invitation to staph. It’s very important to wipe away your sweat off mats, machines, or metal barbells. Anyone who has shared a bench knows all too well about perspiration left behind.

Staph may look like a small pimple or bigger like an abscess. If you think you have a staph infection, see medical assistance right away. It’s better to be safe. After all, it’s your body.
