A member asked:
I stay with my friend and i sleep next to her in the same bed. some of her friends were on sleepovers before i came. if i sleep in the same bedsheet as her friends, what are risks for infection and what infections? (i wear pyjama)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Near zero: Sleeping on same sheets is not how infections are spread. Lice, bedbugs, or other similar creatures could spread in this manner. The pajamas are a barrier to infestation, but not enough. Someone needs to,wash the sheets more often...
