No MRSA on Gym Equipment!?!

Modern Torture Devices
Some days when I'm tired, I don't feel like going to the gym. As someone who follows the IC literature, I always had a ready excuse for myself and others if I didn't want to go.  Too risky!  I don't want to catch MRSA, haven't you read the papers?

So I was depressed when I saw the headline this morning about a new study in AJIC from the University of Florida that found no MSSA and no MRSA on gym equipment surfaces before or after routine cleaning. They sampled 3 gyms (private, high school and university) on 3 separate occasions and obtained 240 samples. They swabbed gyms mats, benches, dumbells, cardio machines and weight machines. Oh well, back to the drawing board...and back to the gym.
