Sorry, yes, he could.

 

[Duck_life]

Sorry, yes, he could.

Alright, so I'm guessing there isn't a way to prevent it?

Vinegar will help keep it clean, but only to an extent. It also is not able to kill staph.

If there is, I have no ideas on how too.

As I understand it, it takes an injury or break in the skin to take hold. But I am not an expert on this..

My expertise is more on preventing Dux from becoming tyrannical dictators..

I suggest you talk to @casportpony on this.

Ty... will it inhibit the growth at all?

 

[Duck_life]

So can I use vinegar?

 

[Trimurtisan]

You can give it a fighting chance! Ralphie's given some good advice.

Ty... will it inhibit the growth at all?

It's good for minor surface wounds/abrasions. It might be good for soaking a wrap in to prevent other infections from showing up, but I wouldn't use it as a main treatment for anything.
