My Aunt just died..?

She had a bacterial in her blood and it killed her within a day. she was 53. They say Staff infection. How do you know if you have this and it's very scary!She didn't have surgery ..must be just a cut or something. What got in there? and what killed her?I am really upset. People shouldn't just go to the hospital and than die.Are there symptoms?

    Bless your heart, It's never easy loosing someone suddenly. I lost my father in January , He had just left the cardiologist office with a clean bill of health and dropped dead in the parking lot in front of the ER of a major university hospital while driving out of the parking lot. Staph infections in the blood ( which is called being septic) is very very rare in a person who has not had surgery but it is not unheard of. Unless they do an autopsy chances are you will never know. But let me assure you it is very rare and you would be very very ILL. Sorry about your loss.
