But Why CrysTowel?
Because if you read any one of the ever increasing
articles on the transmission of infectious diseases and their cause you
will see that there is such a risk in using cloth towels. Crystowel
eliminates the worry of contracting a staff infection from a cloth towel
that you 'thought' was clean.

(November 2003)
The Center for Disease Control recently released a
report that cited clusters of a dangerous skin and soft tissue infection
among athletes across the country.
Methicillin-Resistant
Staphylococcus Aures is the long name for a stubborn staff infection
- usually contracted in a health-care environment - that can cause
fever, puss, pain and swelling. Severe cases lead to
hospitalization.
In the athletic cases reported by the CDC - Colorado,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and California - the transmission occurred from
skin to skin contact, sharing the same equipment, such as helmets and
jerseys, using the same towel or not bathing after a game or workout.
Those kind of infections could happen anywhere,
including the gym, because staff bacteria are all over the place,
Pierson said.
