Hey Doc, hope you are well sir. I got a very bad case of Strep A at the moment, feeling pretty low...lol, like low....Went to the doc on Sunday, 102 fever, pretty much knew what it was, but they didn't have any test kits at the clinic so they had to send off the throat culture tests which took about 3 days and wouldn't prescribe me anything in the meantime, so just now getting antibiotics into my system and feeling about half dead...lol.
Oh no! My kid gets this at least twice a winter. :sad: (((Shannon))) I hope you're well again soon... rest, lad, rest well!

Watch this. You are vulnerable and you don't want this to morph into something else while your immunity is low.

I am not a medical doctor, nor do I play one on TV. :laugh: Good question, though. Maybe Scott GNTLGNT can help you out with that one.
....From the Mayo Clinic(and no, there isn't a Miracle Whip Clinic)......
The cause of strep throat is bacteria known as Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as group A streptococcus.

Streptococcal bacteria are highly contagious. They can spread through airborne droplets when someone with the infection coughs or sneezes, or through shared food or drinks. You can also pick up the bacteria from a doorknob or other surface and transfer them to your nose, mouth or eyes.
