Apparently, strep throat can cause a full body rash.

Do you have strep?

[pissang]

Yeah. I went to the doctor yesterday because I have this rash all over my torso. The quickie test was negative. But I got an email after you left the edition telling me that I had tested positive.

Weird. Kevin and I both have similar rashes that we thought might have just been bug bites, but maybe we should go to the doctor and get it checked out if something is going around.

Did you have any other symptoms?

[pissang]

Sore throat but not bad at all. Of course now that I've been diagnosed, I feel all fatigued and lackadaisical. But it was just the rash that led me to the doctor. It was all over my chest, stomach, back, shoulders...and itchy. Still is. Might be worth checking out.

Yes, it can. But that means you have it bad, generally. Is it you? I'm sorry if it is.

It is me, but the rash has been the worst symptom. My sore throat is mild and if I have a fever, it's low. Now that I'm on penicillin, I'm hoping I dodged a bullet.
