Scarlet fever is usually contracted by other people who have it, through direct contact. Such as through the bacteria that lands on dust, or water droplets. Another way of getting it is from streptococcal toxins that seem in through the skin causing the rash.

Scarlet fever is a disease caused by infection with the group A Streptococcus bacteria. The main risk factor is infection with the bacteria that causes strep throat. A history of strep throat or scarlet fever in the community, neighborhood, or school may increase the risk of infection.
