What Can Be Done To Avoid Infections From Sores On Body?
Hi Doctor we are working and staying in a bunkhouse with an employee with staff infection sores are all over his legs and arms, belly and etc. He went to the doctor and they are giving him medicine but what do we do to not get infected or can we. Can you just give us some information on what we can do or do we even have to worry about it. Stan

Dear the only way to prevent such infection is to keep a good personal hygiene and also try to explain the infected person to have daily bath and change cloths and wash cloths separately in detergent. Also a good balanced diet and a small exposure to sun will keep your immune system healthy to prevent infection
