No, sepsis itself is not contagious and cannot be spread from person to person. It occurs as a result of the body's extreme response to an infection, which can arise from bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. However, the infections that lead to sepsis can be contagious, depending on their source. It's important to practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of infectious agents that could potentially lead to sepsis.
