Can staph infection be cured?
Staph infections can be cured. If you have one, it is IMPERATIVE that you must see your doctor as soon as you can to get medical treatment. Because staph eats away at your body, you never want to wait too long before getting help. The process of curing one is not fun at all, and extremely painful. Depending on the size and severity of your staph infection will determine the actions your doctor will take in curing it. In most cases, this is how a staph infection will be cured. The doctor will try to drain the staph infection. If it is too painful to be drained, they will numb the area being worked on. They will drain the infection out completely. They will irrigate the area with water to clean the area. The infection will be packed with gauze and bandaged up. You will get a shot to relieve pain. You will be prescribed with medications to help with pain. Hopefully, your staph infection will be gotten rid of. These can NOT be cured on your own, and it is EXTREMELY important to see your doctor, because if you wait too long, it will eat away your body. That is how a staph infection can be cured.

Could staph infection cause you to be delirious?
A STAPH (short for STAPHYLOCOCCUS) infection can be a serious bacterial infection. It can make you feel groggy and tired. You need to follow Doctors instructions and take ALL of your antibiotics. You also need to take it easy, get rest, plenty of fluids and let your body heal it self. Some people stop taking their antibiotics when they feel better, but that is a MISTAKE. Take all meds as directed, take it as directed, rest, and do not resume activity until you are 100%.
What is the incubation period for staph infection?
Staph is one of the "opportunistic" bacteria, meaning that it is always present on your skin, but can turn into an infection when you get a cut. Sometimes it just finds it's way into a pore and turns into a pimple or boil. Whether or not you get an infection is determined by many factors, one being the condition of your immune system, another being the number of the little critters that get in. Once you get a staph infection you might just as well go to the doctor and get some antibiotics, otherwise it might take a long time to get better and you might just have complications if you don't get medical attention.
