Another way of preventing the spread of Strep throat is by using disposables. Using paper cups, disposable utensils and paper towels ensures that these things aren’t shared. When a sick person drinks from a glass or eats with reusable spoons and forks, droplets of mouth fluids containing Streptococci, the organisms responsible for the disease, remain on their surfaces, ready to infect the next user. Let’s face it, there are times that people neglect washing the glasses or eating utensils that they use, properly. Simply rinsing them won’t make them safe to use.

To avoid coming to contact with these contaminated things, it is best to use paper cups or disposable utensils. Using disposables also lessens the likelihood that you will be transmitting the disease should you be the one who’s sick.

Always remember, prevention is cheaper than medication.
