Time of Year
While strep throat would happen at any time of the year, it might have some seasonal variations. In general, it tends to be more common during early spring and late winter. These are the great times for Streptococcal bacteria to grow and spread around. In addition, this would correlate with the start of a new academic year in schools. Therefore, more preventive measures need to be taken to reduce the risks during these seasons. But this does not mean you do not need to do anything in the summer or fall. There are many other risk factors, so make sure to be careful at all time. [6]
