FAQ WHAT IS SECTION?
WHAT IS STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS?
Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as staph, is a bacteria that mostly causes skin infections.
Symptoms
Staph infections are usually mild and include superficial rashes, pimples and/or boils on your skin. However, if the bacteria spreads and gets deeper into your skin, it can become a life-threatening infection such as pneumonia, sepsis or meningitis. Recently there have been reports of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a very aggressive form of Staph that's resistant to antibiotics, in gyms, but it's extremely rare.
How do you get it?
It's spread through contact, so it can be picked up through a shared towel or razor, exercise equipment surfaces and grips or skin-to-skin contact.
WHAT IS INFLUENZA?
You probably call it the flu. It's a virus, which causes a nose, throat and lung infection that makes you feel bad for a few days.
Symptoms
Fever, body aches, coughing, sneezing, chills, dizziness, flushed face, headache, lack of energy and, sometimes, nausea and vomiting that lasts between four and seven days.
How do you get it?
Through the air, so contained areas like airplanes, movie theaters and gyms are a great place to catch it. Breathe in the droplets from someone's coughs or sneezes, or get the virus on your hands and touch your mouth, nose, or eyes.
WHAT IS CANDIDA?
The most common culprit in fungal infections, this yeast-like fungus can lead to everything from athlete's foot to ringworm to jock itch in men and yeast infections in women.
Symptoms
Ringworm is usually marked by ring-shaped skin rashes, usually on your toes, sometimes on your palms and between your fingers. Athlete's foot gives you itchy, cracked, flaking and peeling skin between the toes or side of the foot, while jock itch causes a rash on your groin. If it's untreated, it can escalate to blisters and severely cracked skin.
How do you get it?
Contact. It loves warm, moist areas, so locker rooms, saunas, swimming pools and showers are the perfect environment to pick up some tasty foot fungus.
WHAT IS STREPTOCOCCAL BACTERIA?
A type of bacteria that usually causes upper respiratory infections--strep throat. There are 20 different types of strep bacteria.
Symptoms
Symptoms can range from mild throat infections to pneumonia. It can also cause skin infections such as impetigo, which causes blisters, and cellulitis, which affects deeper layers of skin.
How do you get it?
It's very contagious and is spread through person-to-person contact, airborne droplets, doorknobs and other surfaces. Sweaty exercise equipment, saunas, locker rooms and drinking bottles can harbor strep.
WHAT IS HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS?
Human Papillomavirus is a virus that you probably know as HPV. It's the most common sexually transmitted disease, but that doesn't mean sex is the only way you get it.
Symptoms
HPV usually causes genital warts in both men and women. It can also cause warts in the throat and mouth and even on the feet (known as plantar warts). If untreated, it can lead to cervical cancer in women and (shudder) penile and anal cancer in men. It also results in the inability to land a date ever again.
How do you get it?
You can pick up plantar warts from walking around barefoot in bathrooms and showers.
WHAT IS KLEBSIELLA?
A bacteria that is usually found in healthy human intestines and stool.
Symptoms
Klebsiella can result in a variety of infections, most commonly urinary tract infections and pneumonia, but in rarer cases blood infections and meningitis. The type of infection you get depends on how it enters your body (i.e. through your nose results in pneumonia).
How do you get it?
It's spread through contact, so any shared surfaces--cardio machines, workout mats, weights, water fountains and locker rooms--are fair game.
WHAT IS E.COLI?
Escherichia Coli, commonly known as E. coli, is a common bacterium found in the intestines and stool of animals.
Symptoms
E. coli infections cause cramps, diarrhea, vomiting and can lead to pneumonia.
How do you get it?
