    Default Super Nervous

    I just went over to a neighbor's house... she's a little old lady who just lost her youngest granddaughter so I try to go over and keep her company once a week. Turns out her other granddaughter had been there with the kids... and her kids had a stomach virus. I didn't touch my face, and still haven't... but I felt bad just leaving so I stayed for 2 hours... her kids left on Tuesday this week. Are the germs still in the house?

    The germs could be still in the house, yes (on surfaces such as light switches, door knobs, bathroom fixtures or counters.) But if you washed your hands when you came home and you didn't put your fingers in your mouth while at the house then you couldn't have caught anything.
