You know it!

I can't figure out where I got it.

Don't visit sick people. I don't go to hospitals. I'm a stay at home mom and lead a rather dull life. Our local food store has alcohol wipes that I ALWAYS use on the shopping cart handle.

My GP is very concerned because he sees it showing up in more and more "healthy" people in the general population. He's a thorough guy and did the culture just as a precaution - he was as surprised as I was.

You said -- "I can't figure out where I got it."

Perhaps you're in the 25-30 percent --

"The most common cause of staph infections, S. aureus is a bacteria found on the skin or in the nose of about 25-30 percent of people."

And you rubbed your nose...
