A member asked:
Can i get staph infection if i touch a person who has it, but doesnt have any visible symptom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: While a person can develop a Staphylococcus (Staph) infection through personal contact, object sharing, or eating of improperly handled or prepared food, many species of Staph bacteria are commonly found on the skin, even on healthy individuals. The likelihood of developing an infection is greater in people who have a weak immune system or skin diseases.
