This article tracks the progression of an easily preventable skin infection of a high school athlete that occurred due to the lack of a cleanliness protocol in a high school gym. The extensive and expensive progress of the infection resulted in a major near-death event for the teen. Guidelines for school athletic programs are included. The ethical principle of justice supports nursing and public attention to prevention rather than tertiary care.
