I have strep throat. if i play with a toy can i get strep throat from it after i have healed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Toy ?: The germ can remain in saliva on an object until it dries out. It would die at some point & not be infective. People do get recurrent strep if they don't toss their toothbrush, which does tend to trap saliva/germs & retain moisture. I can't think of a toy that would. If you have ones of concern you can steam them with a clothing steamer & kill any germs.
