Contrary to some peoples belief the condition Sepsis is not actually contagious to people from other people.
So it's safe to be around people who have Sepsis because you cannot get Sepsis from anyone else.
I was told wrongly by a doctor that Sepsis was contagious and to stay away from other people when I had Sepsis.
But actually Sepsis is not a contagious condition.
Sepsis usually happens when you get bacteria in your blood stream which can happen through medical procedures such as inserting needles, and having tubes inserted into veins.
Anyone including children can get Sepsis and it can also get into your body through other parts of the body, such as the lungs, urinary tract, skin, or abdomen and it can infect those parts of the body.
Sepsis can be deadly if not treated so if you have Sepsis you need medical attention.
The Sepsis will feel like the flu but will get worse and can cause fever, muscle aches, confusion, headaches etc so if you feel like you have the flu but it feels much worse then you should go to the emergency room or urgent care to get treated.
Usually you'll be admitted to the hospital if you do have Sepsis so be prepared to get admitted to the hospital.
