Hi all, new to this website but thought it was time i seeked help! Have been in ultimate panic since yesterday when i found out someone i had spent the day with on sunday has a sickness bug, i have almost convienced myself that i have it and feel really unwell, i havent eaten or drunk since i found out and have decided its time to change. I came across this website after researching if i am actually going to end up ill today or tomorrow! I am fed up of being terrified every time someone near me says they feel sick!!

Hi. If you were with your friend before she got sick then you have no chance of catching it.

Really? I was with her sunday and she got ill yesterday evening, her whole house has come down with the same thing. i have done nothing but worry since she told me she was ill. hate feeling like this....

I might not be correct but I believe you should be fine. You weren't around anybody that got sick and by the sounds of things, they must have all picked it up from the same place to come down with it at the same time. You should be fine.

Thanks ive done so much research today made myself feel ill with worrying!

What i learnt from this forum is that a person has to be actually sick or have the runs before it can spread due to the virus being on their hands or surfaces that they touched.
