Sorry for the redundancy on here, but my situation is different than previous ones...

I am terribly afraid of throwing up. So I was not happy to find out when I babysat today that the stomach virus had hit the family last week. Two people in the house were sick from 5-7 days ago, and they are better now. The mom said she went crazy with Lysol in the house, but I'm still nervous. I'm wondering if anyone has ever caught a stomach bug from people who have been "well" for almost a week?

Thanks- I know it's a silly fear but I'm sitting here not able to sleep wondering if I've contracted it

At a week out, you're likely fine. Relax. As long as you're good about washing your hands, and you're not sharing drinks with the kids, or kissing with tounges or anything, you should be good.

Hey there, I totally understand what you're going through, I'm ridiculously afraid of other people throwing up. You really should be fine if everyone has been well for a week. It's really unlikely. If you ever need someone who understand, feel free to contact me, I totally understand, it's a horrible fear.

You should be fine, but stress isn't good for the immune system, so stop worrying!
