    Default How long am I in the clear??

    My youngest son has been sick since Saturday with Gastrentistis. When am I in the clear from catching it?? Today I feel so lousy and sick I am terrified I may have caught it. Please help reassure me...p.s no one else in my family is sick

    usually if you're gonna catch it, it would be in the first 24-48 hours. I would think you'd be in the clear by now. Your stomach's probably off from anxiety.

    Psalm 139 you should maybe post this in the private help and suport forum so it will get more attention. This forum is public and kind of underused. Sounds like you've had a rough time, but I'd say your chances of not getting it are good since you haven't caught it within those first 24-48 hrs. It can also definitely get next to you anxiety wise if this thing is in your house, and make you think it's got you when it has not.
