Only if it got into any openings of your skin. It's a staph infection. Keep your skin clean and dry and you won't get it.

Yes, boils are just one of the many ways a staph infection can show up on your body. If you are healthy the chances are you will not get a MRSA infection. Although there are many carriers out there, the real danger lies for someone who is weak from surgury, or is imunocompromised such as someone with cancer or aids. If you show any unusual signs see a doctor, but otherwise don't worry.

Yes, you can. I had a customer at the store who had MRSA and he had a major boil on his lower cheek on his face. Very ugly. Sanitize your hands constantly.
