Question

Can you get ill from someone with sepsis?

Answer 1

Possibly.

Explanation:

Sepsis in itself is not contagious. However, the pathogens that caused the sepsis are likely contagious. In other words, the pathogens can be transferred from one person to another, through various forms. Moreover, once the pathogen is transferred, the recipient organism may not necessarily develop sepsis. It is only a possible outcome as a result of the infection.
