Can I spread a staph infection like this

2017-07-20 00:49:43
I have Hidradenitis suppurativa. Sometimes I get sores under my arms. A few times I have had a staph infection. I have a sore now and am going to the doctor soon. In the meantime.... I was bandaging my infection. Then, my doorbell rang and it was the grocery delivery man. I used soap, but it was not a "full wash"-I was quick and it was cool water.
