MRSA Outbreak from Bouncy Castles | Belfast News

A wild MRSA outbreak linked to bouncy castles in Ireland has left 48 kids sick, 15 hospitalized — the first time this superbug has spread so widely from inflatables. Kids crammed together for hours under humid conditions created the perfect germ-spreading storm. Doctors raced to track down all affected children, and while none of the hospitalized kids suffered serious complications, the incident is a stark warning: even fun activities can become health hazards if hygiene isn’t prioritized. Public health officials are now urging caution in crowded, close-contact settings — and inflatable rental companies must clean their gear like never before.
