    Default Need some advice

    Hello all...been a while since I was here but need some advice.

    I work in a bank, in different branches. A friend worked today while sick with a virus that her daughter had yesterday. I'll be working at the branch on Tuesday that she worked at today, so what can I do to protect myself? I'm germophobic (mysophobic) and OCD so I already have that going for me, but I REALLY don't want this. I will unfortunately probably have to use the same cash drawer as she did, which I dread, but I will not work at the window where she did if I can avoid it. No one will be in the building until Tuesday as we are closed until then.

    Thanks for any tips. Merry Christmas my fellow emetophobes, and may it be a healthy one, and may your New Year be full of God's blessings and v* free!!!

    The best thing I would suggest you do is wipe down everything with antibacterial wipes and that should help. Even wipe things a couple of times....

    Lysol Spray (make sure it says Lysol Brand III) says on the back it kills norovirus. I would try to disinfect as many surfaces as possible with it. My boss is a germophobe (not an emet) and we have to spray the office with Lysol and wipe down our desks every other day during cold/flu season. Personally as an emet I think it is great policy. lol.
