Employee Develops Dermatitis from Bacterial Infection

On December 23, 2008, Employee #1 was working in the "kill room" as a dehorner or horn puller, which requires the use of a knife attached to a two and half foot pole to cut off the budding horns of cows {fully developed horns would be removed with power cutter}. He had noticed that his shin guards were rubbing against his shins and causing the development of a rash. Five days later, his girlfriend transported him to the emergency room at a local hospital. The rash had developed into dermatitis and cellulitis. Swabs samples were taken from the affected site and cultured. The cultures revealed that they were positive for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcal aureus bacteria. He was hospitalized and treated for a bacterial skin infection, and then released five days later.
