I would say that indirectly that is possible and try to explain why is that. It is possible if some person is exposed to large quantities of stress usually responds with weakened natural immune system. In that circumstances our body is not strong as usual and bacteria may enter (usually through minor skin trauma) and cause cellulitis. Any person who is long term exposed to stress can weakened natural body defense system and get different diseases and other health problems.
