“Strep throat multiple times but not contagious?”
I had my tonsils removed when I was around 6 years old. I never had an issue with getting strep throat until 8 years ago. Since then I have had it 3 times (roughly every two to three years) but every time I get it, no one around me catches it. How is that even possible and what would cause it?

Most likely the tonsil tissue was incompletely removed. Some procedures fail to remove tonsil tissue at the base. Also could having strep nasopharyngeal infections.
