How likely am i to catch staph infection surfing after rain fall in los angeles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Staph infections: Staph infections are transmitted by contact with someone who has the infection or is colonized with staph. Staph can potentially be left on surfaces and be transmitted by contact with these surfaces. We see that often with kids that exercise on gym mats. Staph infections are not transmitted by rain.
