All humans carry staph. Staph is part of the normal flora on the skin. Talk with your health care provider about your concerns.

Is black mold a carrier for staph?

Black mold, also known as Stachybotrys chartarum, is not a carrier for Staphylococcus aureus (staph). Staph is a type of bacteria commonly found on human skin and can cause infections, but it does not typically grow on mold. Both black mold and staph can be harmful to human health, so it's important to address any mold issues and practice good hygiene to prevent staph infections.

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.
