You won't catch it: This is not something you can catch from her. The condition is quite rare, so don't worry. She needs to see her physician and be evaluated.

Not contagious: You can't catch early onset puberty from someone. That said, the most common cause of early onset puberty is unknown. A smaller percentage of kids with early onset puberty have familial tendencies, pituitary and brain abnormalities.
