As a diabetic, I prick my finger 4-5 times a day for blood tests and take insulin injections. So I have tiny little holes in my fingers due to the blood tests. Would I see signs of infection around these holes if I were infected with MRSA, if the bateria entered my body via these holes?

If alcohol doesn't work, I would think that hydrogen peroxide would.
Waiting for the medical professionals to confirm/deny.
