I want to believe that it's strictly oral-fecal route but if that were true it would seem less likely contracted if you ask me. Either way I'm having a hard time this year...seems like it's inevitable that someone in my family is going to come down with it and I've got a houseful this Christmas, I'm going to be a nervous wreck!!

Because the smallest amount of feces can make you sick.


They go to the bathroom...They don't wash their hands or don't wash them properly...They fix your food...You ingest...You ingest their feces. Lovely isn't it?


I am a nervous wreck also...Christmas is huge in my family and their are tons of kids...oh well, it's part of it.
