People who drink hot tea or coffee are less likely to carry the superbug known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in their noses, researchers found.
Drinking either beverage was associated with about a 50 percent relative reduction in the odds of nasal MRSA carriage, and drinking both was associated with a 67 percent reduction, according to Dr. Eric Matheson of the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston and colleagues.
