" Don&amp;#039;t believe everything you read (on a hand sanitizer label), says the FDA. Some products claim that they prevent MRSA infections but experts say that this is unproven and misleading. MRSA stands for &amp;quot;methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus&amp;quot; and it&amp;#039;s a bacteria that can cause severe or life-threatening infections and doesn&amp;#039;t respond to antibiotics.  The FDA is stressing that consumers should be wary of these products with unproven claims because they might give a false sense of protection. Here are a few examples of what to watch out for on the label: - &amp;quot;Kills over 99.9% of MRSA&amp;quot; - &amp;quot;Helps prevent skin infections caused by MRSA and other germs&amp;quot; - &amp;quot;is effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including MRSA&amp;quot; A better way to avoid getting sick? Wash your hands often (especially before and after handling food) with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. \u2013 Abby Cuffey, Associate Health Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
