Could a navel piercing bring about colitis?

Not specifically colitis but any injury to the body can introduce bacteria which normally live on the skin . MRSA is one such bug that can prove fatal if it gets into a wound. Antibiotic drugs are becoming less powerful these days and you can't be sure if a course of treatment will cure the problem. I wouldn't get it done if I were you, your health is too precious to mess with.

What should you do if you have been exposed to someone who has colitis and did not know it and now you find out that it is contagious?

Well, you have a couple of ways to go to cure this. The first way is to post a question on a chatroom, but you tried that, and it hasn't cured it. As a last resort, you could try going to a doctor. I believe they have better things than leeches and hot cups for curing things. Now, because you think I am poking fun at you because you do not have medical coverage and thus think you can't see a doctor, most towns have a clinic that charges on a sliding scale based on what you can pay. If you can pay nothing you pay nothing. These clinics are often affiliated with the local hospital, so that might be a good place to start. MOst hospitals are stocked with eager volunteers who know of these places. If all else fails, of course, you go to the hospital. I suppose some are totally for profit enterprises, but both our hospitals have big plaques right in the lobby that say you have the right to be treated regardless of whether you can pay or not. So be treated, and get well. Good Luck Phil Colitis is not contagious. You have nothing to worry about.
