    Default A few members of my family are sick, and I'm so afraid I'll get it!

    Well, my mother, older sister, and baby brother are either recovering or currently suffering from the stomach virus, and I've been doing so much to prevent it from happening. (taking probiotics, disinfecting common surfaces, staying away from the sick people, and eating cranberries.) But I'm still so afraid that I'll get it. Is there anything else I can do to avoid it?

    First off, if you are around people who have or had it, it does not meant that you are doomed!! My husband had it and we only have one bathroom, and I never got it. Went to a friends house who's husband just got over it and she is not a cleaner like I am and got nothing. Just make sure you wash your hands before you eat and after the bathroom. Keep your hand out of nose and mouth and you should be just fine!!
