A member asked:

I get strep throat often. i avoid sharing drink, utensils, ect with people which has helped alot, but still seem to catch it once in a while.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HAND TO FACE TRANSFR: I know a psychologist who studied human behavior & found the average adult touched his/her face with unwashed hands 6x/hr & nose 2x/hr.Anytime we do so we can pass germs from what we touch to areas that allow germs access to the nose & mouth. You can do what you can to avoid it, but strep is carried by at least 5% of asymptomatic people continuously.
