I think all of that makes a lot of sense!

It’s just Lysol’s regular spray. You can find it at pretty much any store.

Mixture of 1/2 cup bleach + 1 gallon water for hard surfaces (especially ones that have been v* or d* on/near such as toilets, sinks, faucets, doorknobs)

Lysol III spray for any soft surfaces or...

Those sound like flu symptoms. Did you get a flu shot this year? If not, you probably caught it from her.

It is very likely the same virus circulating through your house.

Sorry to hear you’re in this situation.
Yes, you can take Tamiflu at the onset of flu symptoms or following exposure to decrease the severity and length of symptoms. It is an anti-viral medication....

There is no doctor that would prescribe antibiotics for noro. So she is lying to you for some reason. Not knowing the situation, it’s hard to speculate as to why.

Sorry. Posted in the wrong forum.

So long as you keep up with your hand hygiene, you are fine. Wiping your phone down with a disninfecting wipe nightly doesn’t hurt either. I work in a school and those two methods have worked just...

Is there a friend or family member you could stay with for a couple of days if someone does get sick? I always have that plan in the back of my mind, too!

Could he come to your place instead? As long as he showers, puts on fresh clothes, and wipes his phone with a disinfectant wipe, your chance of catching anything is minimal. I wouldn’t recommend...

I don’t think two bites is going to seriously harm, let alone poison you. No need to take drastic measures.

It sounds like it could still be acid reflux. I suffer from this as well, and my GI doctor told me that although you may feel upper abdominal/chest pain, it’s often radiating from the stomach. Also,...

I’m not an expert on salmonella so I was genuinely confused. I don’t think anyone intended to be hostile.

Amoxicillin is one of the most widely prescribed antibiotics due to its superior effectiveness and minimal side effects. I don’t think you have anything to worry about there.
I don’t know much...

I am not sure how this is linked to salmonella as you need to ingest contaimiated food for infection to occur ?

I used to take penicillin for infections until I became allergic a couple years ago. But for the 20 or so years I used that medicine, it never made me nauseous.

Oh gosh. This sounds like a nightmare! Do you live together, or are you able to send him home once he is no longer sick? I would camp out in a different room and use a different bathroom until he...

I think you’re fine. Dogs v all the time for various reasons. If he was ill with a virus it would’ve been much more violent and prolonged.

Truly it doesn’t sound like sv. That typically involves much more v and d plus a fever. I would clean the rooms he was in that day (especially the ones he v in) just to be safe. Lysol III spray or a...

I always wipe my phone down with a Lysol wipe when I get home from the gym. And I keep my hands away from my face while there.

It’s certainly possible to have 2 active viral infections at once. It sounds like that is what happened to you.

Well, if he does not v or d then there is no way for you to get infected.
If he does, try to stay in your room as much as possible, visit a friend’s house, and use a separate bathroom than him.
I...

You can stop worrying. 1) there is no certainty you were even exposed and 2) the normal incubation is 24-48 hours, with most people getting sick around the 36 hour mark. I think it’s safe to say you...

There’s really no way of knowing - but I would say claiming you’re definitely going to get it is extreme.
