I have a cellulitis staph infection and keep my place covered. A coworker found out what I had and went crazy even though my doctor wrote a note saying I was not contagious. The coworker says my doctor does know what she is talking about. Can that be true?
Hello, THX to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your treating doctor I advise you that it is not much contagious. In other words it is not as contagious as other disease like swine flu. If you come in contact with the lesion having high bacterial load of the staphylococcus bacteria than it is possible to have this infection. But it can be stopped spreading by taking due care that is proper handwashing, using sanitizer, using proper disinfectants etc. I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me, Wish you a very good health at Chat Doctor.
