Is E Coli Skin Rash A Contagious Disease?
Hi I am a hairdresser in a Retirement Community. One of my clients yesterday received letter from a test result. She mentioned it said something to the effect she has E Coli skin rash. She wanted me to read the letter as she didn t understand but her care taker put the letter away and said they would talk about it later. I was just wondering is that a contagious skin rash??

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, yes it can cause contagious contamination of instruments or cross transfer to other people so need eradication and confirmation on repeat cultures.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
