• Can you catch Elephantiasis by another person who has it in ANY possible way? I was with a woman who has Elephantiasis BADLY who used my cell phone...who's saliva probably ended up on it and we stayed together in a log cabin with plenty of bugs and mosquitoes which I know cause Elephantiasis. If one bug bites her and then bites me...would it be possible for me to get any symptoms of Elephantiasis?...or is there any possible way I could get it...possibly like a cold...or something?

• Answer:

  Elephantitis is actually caused by a parasite. The disease is not considered contagious but the parasites that cause it can be spread. The parasite or worms can be spread by mosquitoes but having the parasite alone will not cause the disease. The disease is caused by the parasites blocking glands in the lymphatic system of the human body.
