Staph infections can occur without visible wounds because the bacteria, commonly found on the skin and in nasal passages, can enter the body through microscopic breaks in the skin. Activities such as close contact with contaminated surfaces, sharing personal items, or even touching the face can facilitate this transmission. Additionally, certain conditions like weakened immune systems or skin conditions can increase susceptibility to infection. It's important to maintain good hygiene practices to help prevent such infections.
