Sore throats are usually caused by viruses, although an infection in the throat and tonsils called Group A Streptococcus (group A strep) is caused by bacteria.This infection lives in the nose and throat, easily spread to others by coughing and sneezing, creating small respiratory droplets containing bacteria. Although coughing and sneezing are the common methods of spreading the bacteria causing strep throat, there are many more ways to look out for to prevent you and your child from contracting this infection.

How do you get sick from strep throat?

When you breathe in the droplets from others
When you drink from the same glass, eat from the same plate, or share any utensil used by a sick person
When you touch a surface or material contaminated by droplets of bacteria and touch your nose or mouth right after.
When you touch sores on the skin, also known as impetigo, is caused by group A strep.

It is vital to know that some infected people do not seem sick or show any signs or symptoms. Furthermore, experts believe that pets or household items, such as appliances, furniture, toys, and more, do not spread these bacteria.
