Scarlet fever isn’t contagious.. lol
Quoting: nomigal It is VERY contagious. No it isn’t. It’s a fever that occurs if your immune system can’t fight off strep throat.. I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but from the NHS there's this-- How scarlet fever spreads
Scarlet fever is very contagious and can be caught by:
breathing in bacteria in airborne droplets from an infected person's coughs and sneezes
touching the skin of a person with a streptococcal skin infection, such as impetigo
sharing contaminated towels, baths, clothes or bed linen
It can also be caught from carriers – people who have the bacteria in their throat or on their skin but don't have any symptoms. [ link to www.nhsinform.scot (secure)]
