Can I get infected while at work? I work in the sterilization unit of a hospital, wear protective clothing, etc. visor /, but no mask. I feel well (headache, chills, variety / pain and drowsiness) more and more delay.
Is it possible that I "took up'something work? Has anyone experienced similar?
Can MRSA or other infections be picked
simply by breathing example?
Most infections like MRSA, etc. are spread through contact with contaminated objects (be it a person, linens, equipment), it is possible that you could have an infection of employment you occupy, you must be very vigilant. Make sure you protect yourself - wash your hands regularly, even when wearing gloves, etc. Some infections are transmitted through the fecal / oral route if you're touching contaminated objects and then touch your mouth, you can indgest.
The counselor will be infection control in hospital, im sure will be happy to advise you. Also talk to your manager to ensure they do everything they can to protect you.
If symptoms persist - see your GP
Talk to your supervisor or a doctor, they should give you a mask because you can pick up respiratory infections by inch
You should check yourself, probably his malaria or something, but you really need to ask the authority of a mask because there are diseases that are in the air. This is not healthy to inhale diseases. Occasionally, inhalation of these diseases makes the stomach sick imagination because of the smell could make the flavor of your memory that could make you sick. Some scents are terrible and its best cover nose and mouth. You can be infected.
