by Dr Diane Mueller – As a Lyme disease and mold illness expert, I’m often asked, “Is MARCoNS contagious?” This tricky sinus bacteria, short for Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Coagulase Negative Staph, is notoriously stubborn, living up to its name in resisting treatment. MARCoNS colonizes deep the sinus cavities, teaming up with mold growth to form crystallized biofilms that ENT surgeons have observed.

While clearly bothersome for the sinuses, MARCoNS also causes chaos far beyond – quietly disrupting hormonal pathways like thyroid, adrenal function, sleep cycles, and immunity. So despite not always inflaming sinus tissue, it requires attention when found. Testing involves an easy nasal swab to identify this stealthy microorganism.
MARCoNS spread depends on individual factors, yet it certainly can transmit between family members in shared spaces, especially those with compromised immunity. I often see just one member infected while the rest test negative. However, it warrants assessment if unexplained health changes arise in loved ones who are closely connected.
Even beloved pets like dogs may acquire MARCoNS from positive owners through affectionate face-to-face contact over time. One patient tested positive, then discovered it in their pup as well when they checked. This reveals the sneaky spread potential among immuno-vulnerable human and animal companions.
Don’t assume negative health changes are just age, stress, or bad luck without probing further. Have clinical suspicions? Get tested – extended misery is not merited. MARCoNS treatment can dramatically turn lives around, resolving neurological fatigue, gym brain, anxiety, body aches, and gut disruption for many once the root issue is identified.
While not definitively contagious among all close contacts, getting a better understanding is MARCoNS contagious deserves assessment with troubling symptoms. Catching culprits behind feeling off provides clarity to get family and pets properly supported.

“Dr. Mueller’s approach to medicine is refreshing! There is only so much you can do with western medicine and in my life I was needing a new approach. By addressing the whole body, nutritional diet factors, environmental factors, blood work, and incorporating ideas I had not previously known, I was able to break through with my conditions. I am not only experiencing less pain in my life, but through the process of healing guided by Dr. Diane Mueller, I am now happy to say I have more consciousness surrounding how I eat, what to eat and when things are appropriate. Living by example Dr. Mueller has a vibrancy that makes you want to learn and know more about your body and overall health. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for new answers, a new approach to health, or in need of freedom from pain and limitations.”
