I was recently treated for a MRSA infection on my arm. Part of the drill was to wash the site with soap and water several times a day and pat it dry, and then dress it again.

I heard the doctor mutter something about a sacrificial towel, but I didn’t ask her about it.

I segregated the towels I used, and I would like to know if they can go back into regular use once they’re laundered. Should I boil them?
