Odette, excellent recommendations, we do the same things in our house and if one person gets gastro no one else in the house ever gets it so it does work!!!
I just wanted to add, apparently you shouldn't use public swimming pools for a good two weeks afterwards. There must be some gastro-causing germs that linger for a while afterwards, and warm moist swimming pools are ideal for spreading them around the population. EWW!
I've been wondering about this gastro thing a bit lately cause it has been going through my friends and family. So my question is, if you had it and then a family/friend has it the next week and you arent too careful about staying away from them are you likely to get it again?? Like if you are likely to get it again then how are you meant to get it out of your family cause it could just keep on going round and round! Hope this makes sense... and sorry Janie to hijack thread
Um, just stay away from them V!!!! That's best way to be sure not to get it! And also follow the measures that Odette listed, that will really help. But if there's kids involved, best to keep them away from one another, because they're bound to share some germs at some point, as kids do.
It really annoys me how cavalier people are about spreading bugs like this around. It's just so contagious, and it really isn't great for small kids and elderly people to get so sick. I don't like it either, but at least my body can cope a bit better! For gods sake, if you're sick, stay at home! I can't believe the people who will come into work telling us that they've been up all night with gastro.......yet here they are at the dentist bright and early........."hell, what are you doing here?????? We don't want you!" Not that we actually say that to them. And people who drag their kids around knowing that they're sick. I feel sorry for the kids, and I feel sorry for the people who might catch whatever they've got!!!
Sorry, off my soapbox now, this is just one of my gripes in life Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
