Question

How else can you catch strep throat besides when infected people cough or sneeze?

Answer 1

You can also catch strep when:

• You touch something these droplets land on -- such as a doorknob or table -- and then rub your eyes, nose, or mouth.
• You share personal items such as a fork or spoon, glass, or toothbrush with someone who is sick.
• You kiss a person who has it.
• You touch a sore on the skin of someone who has a strep infection.
