odwalla hasn't quite let us get to know them yet.
Default MRSA - To tell or not to tell?

Let's say you, somehow, got MRSA. Google it for more info if you don't know what it is - basically a nasty infection, non-std and non-genital related (basically, you can get it from anywhere) Since it is highly communicable and potentially fatal if spread to the very young, very old or those with weak immune systems, would you tell recent play partners that you have it, just as a courtesy?

If one of your play partners told you they had it, would you avoid them like the plague, even after they healed? Is this the kind of thing that people might equate to you having AIDS or some other STD, even though it isnt?

We told one of our play partners I had it and they are saying "lots of respect for telling us etc" but I get the sense they are secretly disgusted and probably want to avoid us now. Who knows. Thoughts?
