How long is strep throat contagious and what is the incubation period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Strep can be carried in a contagious state indefinitely.Once treated, the spread is minimal after 24 hrs. Some people can pick up and carry the germ without infection, ever, while most would become symptomatic within 24-48 hrs.
