Answer #1

Do you mean staph infection? or rather, Staphylococcus. It is a bacteria that can cause diseases when infected into the body through your tissue. Often, it does not cause diseases but when there is a wound or damage in your skin, it can. The symptom of it is boils. It can cause such diseases as pneumonia, blood poisoning, TSS, etc.

Answer #2

Staph commonly lives in the nose. Say you rub your nose, then scratch a scab or cut, you can get a staph infection. When I was a kid, i had an ant bite on my knee, and i scratched it and somehow it became a staph infection. My doctor told me that it is common so you should use plenty of antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers.
