The germ-phobic probably shouldn't read this. If you have a staph infection in any wound, you should go to the doctor immediately. Staph generally doesn't just "get on your hands" unless you work in a hospital or other place where diseases hang out. It's really only dangerous if there's a cut on your hands, but if you think you're wearing disease causing bacteria you should probably just wash your hands. Staphloccocus loves hang nails and unkempt cuticles.
