No. To be infected, first the virus needs to find a body cell to invade and take over. Body cells do not exist in lip balm.

BUT, there could viruses on the surface of the stick that could transfer to your mouth and THEN infect you.

How could you get a staff infection on your ovaries?

I believe you mean "staph" infection, which is short for Staphylococcus. it would depend what species of Staph is in question, but the most plausible way is through the blood. e.g., an sore/wound in the skin gets infected and the bacteria travel through the blood to the ovaries, however, this would be quite rare.

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.

Does alcohol kill staph very quickly?

it's more likely to cause a staph infection by causing cracks in your hands(if you wash your hands) and it probably weakens your immune system if you drink it, causing staph to be capable of causing an infection, staphylococcus aureus occurs naturally on any part of your body, and shouldn't pose any risk unless your immune system is severely weakened(which is why it is common in hospitals, where almost everyone is ill in one way or another)
