How do you no if you have staff?
If you are asking the question, "How do you know if you have a staph infection?," the answer is: You must go to the doctor. The doctor can determine the presence of a staph infection by drawing blood and testing the blood for staph presence. Usually, a more direct means of detecting the variety of infection is to biopsy an area of the body which is suspected to be infected. Staph infections usually have very common telltale signs that would lead a pathologist to think that staph is the problem. Ultimately it would require a sample of the are that a doctor thinks is infected. The sample taken will be given to a microbiologist of some nature, tested in a lab, and given a definitive definition after it meets the standards of cell structure, virulence, and pathological definition.

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.

Depends on the kind of treatment you are receiving. Depends also on the extension of the infection.

Your age counts also to determine the time of your complete recovery.
