Thanks htotsu-

I would again like to emphsize how important education is on this one. In terms of hygene in indoor climbing facilities, I just don't think it can be much improved on. My gym is visited by 500 people everyday, and there is no way holds can be cleaned between use. We can, however, take steps to educate our community so that those that are infected can take proper precautions so they don't spread this to others.

This is not something you ever get rid of, is extremely impactful on everyday life, and can lead to severe complications. For every person who has told me that CA-MRSA is not a big deal, I know it is because they do not know enough about it.

Hopefully word of mouth will help on this one, and we can protect our facilites by educating each other. I sure do wish climbing facilities would help out on this one, especially mine considering the circumstances.
