StaphAseptic Helps Prevent Skin Infections! *US Giveaway*

Now that it is summer, we are outside more often. Obviously scrapes and cuts are bound to happen. I am always loading on antibiotic ointment whenever we have any type of open would but sometimes infection is bound to set in. I have always heard of staph infections but thought you could only catch it in the hospital or after a major surgery. I was surprised when I found out it can happen to anyone, anywhere. 

StaphAseptic First Aid Antiseptic / Pain Relieving Gel was created to help prevent infection which could cause forms of staph infection. It is a greaseless, non-staining gel that doesn't cause stinging or irritation. It contains Lidocaine to provide instant pain relief as well! It is nice to know that their is a simple way to prevent infection so you and your family can have peace of mind.

There are some forms of staph that cannot be killed with typical antibiotics. A type of staph that is resistant to commonly used antibiotics is MRSA. MRSA is short for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This form of staph infection is commonly mistaken as spider bites. MRSA can form from skin infections in otherwise healthy people. A skin infection can be something as simple as a pimple! The worse part is that MRSA is contagious through skin to skin contact and contaminated items and surfaces. StaphAseptic is not a cure for MRSA but is a preventative.

There are precautions you can take to avoid MRSA. 

 "Practice good hygiene including:

• Keep your hands clean
• Treat minor cuts and scrapes with StaphAseptic® First Aid Antiseptic / Pain Relieving Gel
• Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered with a bandage until healed
• Shower after physical activity
• Properly clean gear and equipment
• Consult your trainer/physician for all active wounds
• Avoid contact with other people's wounds or bandages
• Avoid sharing personal items such as towels or razors"

I was sent StaphAseptic and have been using it on every single open would that any of us have had. I can attest to the pain relief! I am notorious for peeling my cuticles and let me tell you...it hurts. When I used the StaphAseptic on it, the pain did diminish quite quickly. I also noticed that my cuticles healed a lot faster than using nothing on my wound. It is nice to know that I have a product that, not only helps to prevent infection, but also helps relieve pain!
