Hocus Pocus.

Further to the last note, it's worth noting that I don't get strep anymore. I've discovered a couple of home remedies for pretty much everything.
I think I've written about these before, so I'll just mention them briefly, for anybody that might be struggling with a similar recurring type illness.
The 2 cures that I found are Colloidal Silver, and Oil of Oregano.
You can find them affordably in any health food store. The oil of oregano tastes awful, and will actually burn in an open wound. You can learn more about it here I gave up on antibiotics after about time 15 with strep throat, and switched to colloidal silver and oregano. I use them whenever anyone in the house starts displaying symptoms, or whenever I feel the symptoms myself, and I don't come down with strep.
I was as anti-naturopathic healing as a person could be 2 years ago. But our strep battles frustrated me so much I was willing to try anything. These things work!
