strep happens! the fact that you have never caught it before is just sheer luck and of course your good immune system. strep is usually easy to treat once it has been properly diagnosed. you most likely got in from one of your kids but strep is really everywhere. most of the time adults will fight it off but sometimes your number is just up. take your medication and consider getting a repeat culture at the end for "proof of cure. "
i was diagnosed with strep throat. why should i get it now when i've never caught it from my children?
