<s>[INST] How do I protect myself from scarlet fever? [/INST] Scarlet fever is spread via the mucus and saliva of infected people.  It can also be caught from any drinking glasses, plates or utensils they have used.  To protect yourself from getting the illness you should:
Wash your hands often
Not share eating utensils with an infected person
Wash, or dispose of, handkerchiefs and tissues contaminated by an infected person
Be aware that you can catch scarlet fever by inhaling airborne droplets if someone with the illness coughs or sneezes in the air near you. Source: HILL VIEW SURGERY. Link: https://www.hillviewsurgery.co.uk/info.aspx?p=18. Field: Infectious Disease. Disease: Fever </s>
