Sports Equipment and Facilities
Many of us grew up with that gut wrenching smell that seemed to be just part of playing sports.
Football, hockey, baseball and many other types of sports equipment easily grows bacteria and mold in just a few uses.
Simply airing out sports equipment is the smart thing to do between games.

Moms and coaches, if you notice rashes on your children/student athlete's skin, it is most likely from the direct contact with unhealthy virus and bacterial mold growing in the sports equipment.
Athletes of all ages are becoming increasingly at risk for infections such as *Staphylococcus aureus (Staph) and *MRSA simply from exposure to contaminated equipment. The overuse of antibiotics has allowed staph bacteria to evolve into what has become known as the Superbug. It is not just the smell of sweaty gear that may be bothersome but the underlying danger of microbial contamination that could pose serious health risks for athletes. “That smell” is caused by sweat, mucous, blood and dirt that have soaked into the equipment, a mix of proteins and organic matter that is the ideal breeding ground for the growth of bacteria and fungus. The player’s become further exposed to infection as these pathogens enter the body through cuts and abrasions leading to potentially serious infections. The transmission rates of staph and MRSA are facilitated by close personal contact of the players and the frequent skin injuries that occur with many sporting activities. Failure to cover wounds adequately, sharing of sports equipment and towels and lack of cleanliness of shower and change room facilities also rate as contributing factors.
