Question:
Has anyone ever heard of a staph infection being caused by a fly? My daughter's baby's other grandmother says that is how she got the staph infection but I have never heard of this. She says that there are alot of people getting sick where they live caused by flies. They live in Kentucky so it isnt like it is some 3rd world country or anything. This woman is very well known for her crack use and the infection is on her face but I dont know where all else it is. I have searched the newspapers for their county and surrounding counties and there has been no mention of it. I have also tried to google it but still no mention. Does anyone know of this or know where I can go to research it? Please only serious answers.

We all carry staph around on our body. On the skin and in our nose & throat.The cause of the infections would be by direct ivasion of a staph germs that's not our own. Staph can cause disease in most of our organ sysytems and the skin,like burn patients. Flies do not carry or spread staph aureus.It likes nice warm moist people to live on. I live in Nashville,and some of the wild and looney stuff doesn't suprise me,I hear worse everyday at work in the ER. .Lots of info at webmd & Google so you can print some stuff & show them yourself. Drug addicts are very prone to skin infections caused by staph,and other infections due to their generalized poor health.Take care SW RNP
Staph lives on our skin so an insect bite that is scratched until infected could very easily turn into a staph infection however a fly cant give you staph.
Staph is more common coming from cat feces and your own() but, flies can carry diseases. You'll never get rid of all the flies or (toilet matter) all you can do is be clean as possible. Googling and typing in "Staph fly or Staph flies may yield info.
