Viral infections are mainly identified indirectly by detecting a patient's production of specific antibody (serology). But as antibodies are only produced a week or more after the start of an infection, results are delayed for a considerable period of time. In routine laboratories only a limited number of viral pathogens can be identified directly (usually with ELISA based methods), with positive results requiring a minimum concentration of the virus to be positive.

If you have one on your feet, it would be unwise to pick at it and it can spread to someone else if that person has the potential towards getting that virus in the same way certain people have the potential for catching a certain cold.

Wearing flip flops or crocs in these areas is always a good idea. See similar questions...

Yes. About 1% of the population carries MRSA on the skin – they are considered to be ‘colonized’ with MRSA and are generally asymptomatic. People who are exposed to the organism from a carrier generally do not get sick from it, or develop only mild illnesses (similar to normal staph infections). However, if a minor infection is not cared for, or if there are other factors (e.g., compromised immunity), then the infection may become more serious. See similar questions...
