Wrestling with Liability Issues
COMBATING SKIN INFECTIONS
Skin infections, including MRSA are more common in wrestling than any other collegiate sport. Being PROACTIVE in assuring that all university equipment is clean and not harboring dangerous microbes is critical to mitigating the schools liability in any possible infections. NCWA suggests disinfecting Mats each day before practice using an anti-microbial product as the best practice for protecting athletes from most skin infections. The three most common infections in wrestling are Ringworm, Staff infections and Impetigo. MRSA, a deadly form of Staff infection, is rare in wrestling but has occurred in wrestling facilities that are not maintaining a clean environment for their athletes.
All Wrestlers Exhibiting any of the skin infections shown below must be immediately removed from all practice and competition.
