Direct contact MRSA face urine

2018-05-12 23:21:13
I am a caregiver. I was in the middle of a straight catheterization of a individual with small traces of MRSA and he pulled the Cath out and my face and eye lid area got a small spay of his urine. I did not feel any enter my eye. I immediately ran to the shower and flushed my face with water for a few minutes, then fully showered with soap head to toe. How soon can I get tested to see if MRSA entered my system?

If there had been a scratch or ulceration on skin then the chances of harbouring infection are much .but on intact skin or body surfaces if washed immediately ie contact time is very less,then the chances of harbouring infection are negligible.
