TRANSCRIPT
Disinfecting to Prevent the Transfer of MRSA & Other Skin
Pathogens in Wrestling
History of Pathogens in Athletics
Multiple infectious disease outbreaks in wrestling– Bacteria – Fungus – Viruses
Reported by outbreaks – Most disease transmissions during athletics are not reported
Football and Wrestling most commonly associated with disease transmission in athletics
High School Wrestling had one of the first documented deaths caused by MRSA
Reduce the Risks of Disease Transmission through….
PREVENTION
The Prevention ProgramIncludes…
Proper disinfection of wrestling
mats Proper handling of blood Good hygiene practices among
wrestlers
Hygiene Measures
Shower after practice or competition Refrain from sharing equipment, towels, razors,
water bottles Wash practice gear daily Athletes with rashes or other potentially infectious
skin infections seek medical attention Do not pick, squeeze, scratch abrasions, rashes, etc. No practicing or competing with skin infections Hepatitis B Vaccination NEVER allow chemicals for cleaning or disinfection
to be used on the skin
If you do not have personal hygiene rules written out and demand that your wrestlers follow them, stop here.
The rest of this information will make very little difference.

Factors that can influence the disinfection process
Soil and the chemical can combine
Soil can precipitate out active chemical components(weaken the solution)
Hard WaterCalcium and Magnesium
(deactivate the solution)

Factors that can influence the sterilization process
• Electrical extension cord is needed to • reach all areas of the mat
• Lamps must be replaced annually
•Kills all Germs, Viruses, and Fungi in <.25 Seconds•Sterilize an entire mat in less that 5 minutes•Easy to use, just plug in and pull•“Green Clean” no use of chemicals
