Anyway... I'm pretty sure it's life-threatening, but not get-it-and-die. Just get it treated. Wikipedia?
"Scarlet fever may be mild or severe, but it is rarely fatal if treated."
from http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/scarlet_fever.aspx
i don't think i've ever had scarlet fever, nor know anyone who has.
It USED to be fatal. It's not anymore. It was fatal in the 1700's. There was an outbreak then and a lot of people died. Now there's better medicine. (:
How the hell did you let it develop so long? It starts out as strep throat. ... generally, that shit hurts. I had it in feb and it didnt hurt too bad because it wasnt so swollen but I was so feverish I had to go to the hospital. I just dont understand how you could get scarlet fever and not know you were seriously ill beforehand.
It can be fatal, but it just needs to be treated, as other people have said.
I caught it when I was six, according to my parents...
I've had Scarlet Fever before, and I do remember the pain. I did get strep throat, but it changed to Scarlet Fever quickly. Sadly, I got it on Valentine's Day. D:
So now, my tonsils are gone, and I don't know anyone else who has had it other than myself.
So sorry i disappeared but I was hungry..nomnomnom... Hey dose it hurt to get your tonsils removed? cause i want these babys OUTTA HERE!
Direct quot from my grandma:
