Spread by contact: Strep throat spreads by contact with saliva from the infected person. Avoiding sharing of food or beverages and other close contact until the infected person has been treated with antibiotics for at least 24 hours is wise. If you get a sore throat or fever within a week of contact then call your doctor. Good luck!

No very: As doctors we do not see much transference of this disease from person to person. This observation highlights that it is more important to know the terraine of the patient than the germ. Keep your body defenses strong with good habits and forget the germs. Nature is the teacher and natural methods are most powerful.
