No, it takes a genetic weakness to get the psoriasis from the strep

I was diagnosed with psoriasis at age 14 and now I am 36 years old. You can say that I have tried just about every medicine both approved by FDA and trial without much success. Examples include Enbrel, Humira, oral meds, creams, oils, salts, coal tar, etc and the list is much more extensive that I can't even remember all of the names. But recently after someone shared this video https://tr.im/CurePsoriasismdNA everything has changed. My psoriasis completely cleared by putting these changes in place. I only wish I'd taken photos of before and after because it truly has been miraculous. I am getting married in Oct, 2015 and I am wearing a strapless gown that also shows my back and I am confident (not like before) that my skin will be soft and pretty vs red and flakey.

no, but if the psoriasis is severe and the itching intense that the patient scratches so badly and opens up the skin then infections can enter the body and can cause serious problems. Streptococci alone does not cause psoriasis but can cause other skin problems as well as blood poisoning.

Nope. The strep that person B has requires substantially more intimate contact to be spread than a hug.

no no.. the psoriasis is *triggered* by the strep. if you don't have the genetic setup for psoriasis then you won't get it no matter what type of strep you have.
