I was told the same thing when I cultured MRSA, only contagious to immune compromised people, and even then I would have to cough directly on them for them to be exposed..
I of course when I was dx, went to the Head Chief of Infection control because obviously, I am a nurse and I didn't want to give it to any patients.
I was clear to work, as long as I was not in an acute infection, fever, actively coughing up stuff etc. If I was going to be around an immune compromised person and was coughing, I was to wear a mask..
I never did end up going around anyone, and in fact, I stayed out of work for a long time and treated it with a month and half of antibiotics before I went back to work...
It is a fact that over half of health care workers, healthy or not culture MRSA in their nares.. FACT.. You ca not work and breath in that environment and not get it up your nose..
As far as the cutest Max ever, I would like you not let him around the women with MRSA.... but from what I was taught, as long as your family members are not going right from her house to yours, you should be fine, but I would check with your doctor.
