STREP EXPOSURE: Whenever you are exposed to strep throat infection, screening should be done to all contacts and get properly treated so it will not recur.

Yes: Some people carry it year round with no symptoms and never get sick from it.Silent carrier rate has been estimated as 3-5% during the summer and doubles in the winter. You or any other contact in the kids environment may be a source.
