Can you get ill from someone with sepsis?

Answer 1

Possibly.

The pathogens that cause sepsis are likely contagious, meaning they can spread from one person to another through a variety of means. Furthermore, once a pathogen is transferred, the recipient organism may not necessarily develop sepsis; it is merely a possible outcome as a result of the infection. Sepsis is not contagious in and of itself.

Yes, you can potentially get ill from someone with sepsis, especially if the bacteria causing the sepsis are contagious and can spread through direct contact or exposure to bodily fluids. However, sepsis itself is not directly contagious like a cold or flu. It's crucial to practice good hygiene and take precautions when caring for someone with sepsis to prevent the spread of any infectious agents they may harbor.
