A number of football players in Olivet, Michigan have reported odd rashes. Some have seen staph infection rashes on their arms and sores on their backs. When there is a contagious rash with staph infection, it brings up questions of MRSA.

Staph bacteria is found on some beaches survey on the west coast as well as in a study last year in Florida. Both staph and mrsa infections are occuring as well with football players in high school as well as in other sports.
