As the runoff flows, it may pick up loose material on the surface, such as bits of soil and sand. Runoff is likely to cause more erosion if the land is bare. Plants help hold the soil in place. The runoff water in Figure below is brown because it eroded soil from a bare, sloping field.

1 MRSA is a type of staph that is resistant to antibiotics called beta-lactams. 2  Beta-lactam antibiotics include methicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin. 3  While 25% to 30% of the population is colonized with staph, approximately 1% is colonized with MRSA. Cover your wound. 2  Keep wounds that are draining or have pus covered with clean, dry bandages until healed. 3  Follow your healthcare providerâs instructions on proper care of the wound. 4  Pus from infected wounds can contain staph, including MRSA, so keeping the infection covered will help prevent the spread to others.
