From this morning's Post-Gazette:
County to test Mt. Lebanon High field as source of staph
"The Allegheny County Health Department will test the turf and field house at Mt. Lebanon High School stadium to see if they harbor the bacteria that are causing drug-resistant staph infections among the school's football players.
Ten cases of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, infections have been confirmed at the high school, nine of them among football players with the 10th a student-athlete from another team. Three more students with suspected cases are being tested and one case has been confirmed at Jefferson Middle School."

I hope that updates will be posted at the School District's website.
The turf at the high school is only four years old. When does the warranty run out?
UPDATE (10/19 7:30 am): Bethel team to take MRSA precautions for Mt. Lebo game (Post-Gazette)
