Hello there. I can understand your. You don't really need to worry about it as the skin and other mucous membrane are good barriers against any pathogen for that matter not just staphylococci bacteria. Just make it a habit of washing your hands with soap before eating and after any other such unhygienic acts. Don't touch food with such hands. Clean your ears with soft earbuds and don't insert the earbud very deep also. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
