KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- A little more than a week after the staph infection MRSA killed a senior at Liberty High School in Osceola County, there are reports that another student may be infected with the potentially deadly bacteria.

The health department said no hospitals in the area have confirmed another case of MRSA, but the test results are still out.

"If it killed one person it could kill another and I don't want to lose anymore people to it," student Junior Melon said.

Melon is headed to class one day after another report surfaced that a second student might have the staph infection MRSA. He's not taking any chances.

"I’m not giving no more handshakes, stuff like that. I am just trying to keep myself safe," Melon said.

According to the Osceola County Health Department, the student in question text messaged friends from the hospital saying he has MRSA.

"All I know is that he texted a friend of mine and said the antibiotics aren't working, so he has to stay there for another couple of days," student Heidy Gonzales said.

The second potentially infected student plays football at Liberty High School, and he was a teammate of Alonzo Smith, the high school senior who died from MRSA just over a week ago.

Sources also said this student had a cut that was not healing.

“I told her to be safe and if there is anything on her skin to let me know,” concerned parent Maria Consme said.

"The germ is here obviously. The germ is in the school and they were both on the football team," concerned parent Colette Carlisle said.

Parents concerned about the possibility of a second case have armed their teens with health advice and much more.

"My parents gave me hand sanitizer so I can clean my hands all the time, but I think it's all right," Gonzales said.

The Osceola County Health Department and school system are talking with concerned parents and students.

To avoid MRSA, health officials recommend keeping a close eye on minor skin problems, like pimples, insect bites as well as cuts and scrapes.

If the wound becomes infected, they suggest seeing a doctor right away.
