Sports Equipment & Facilities
Athletes of all ages are becoming increasingly at risk for infections such as Staphylococcus aureus (staph) and MRSA simply from wearing their protective equipment.
It is not just the smell of sweaty gear that may be bothersome but the underlying danger of microbial contamination that could pose serious health risks for athletes. “That smell” is caused by sweat, blood and dirt that have soaked into the equipment – a mix of proteins and organic matter that is the ideal breeding ground for the growth of bacteria and fungus. The athletes are then exposed as these pathogens enter the body through cuts and abrasions leading to potentially serious infections.
The transmission rates of staph and MRSA are facilitated by close personal contact with the players and the frequent skin injuries that occur with many sporting activities. Failure to cover wounds adequately, sharing of sports equipment and towels and lack of cleanliness of shower and change room facilities and gear also rate as contributing factors.
