A member asked:
Is it possible to develop an infection from sharing clothes with someone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: That depends upon the type of infection to which you are referring. If it is a superficial fungus transmitted to the skin this can happen. It is not likely with most other organisms, but never say never.
