    Question Can I re-catch Noro I just had?

    Hi everyone..

    So as I posted before.. I was unlucky enough to get Norovirus and 5 days later, my fiance got it.

    I have bleached my house several times and i have Clinic wipes from work that are used to kill Norovirus (i work in a hospital) and wiped everything over and light switches,.remote controls etc.

    My question is.. Can we re-catch this when our immunity is gone, from my house? I am almost too scared to be in here incase i get it again.

    Hope somebody can help. My OCD has gone mad and making me ill.

    Generally speaking, you will have immunity to the same exact virus for at least a few months. So I think you'll be fine!

    thank you.

    And hopefully in a few months.. I will have OCD cleaned everything so much that it won't be on any surfaces?

    My flat is so small i am scared particles flew onto my sofa so i am sat on it so sheepishly.

    I did that too with my sofa when my hubby was sick with it. He slept on the couch as we only have one bathroom in our house. I lysoled the whole thing and still only sat on the very edge for a couple of days, then sprayed again, sat some what normal on it. Then I sprayed again and sat on it normal. I had to spray it down one more time (so now this being a total of 4 times) before I could lay down on it. I am just happy that I didn't get it from him!
