I've heard of bleach baths advised daily for 2-3 days prior to going in for surgery for MRSA risk reduction.
What strength? 10% is advised for a final rinse in kitchens that prepare food for many people: camping, restaurants, etc.
But 10% might be harmful for the rest of the skin.
Suggestions?

Did mom ever tried on bleach baths?
Woks wonders in kids and adults on controlling the MRSA spread.
Definitely agree with breastfeeding as a protective factor.
One does not have to be obese to have MRSA in large folds (but extra 
weight/folds never helps either)
