    I just wanted to say that my DD had it when she was 2 and I was in very close contact with her for the 5 days, 2 of which she slept basically on top of me and I didnt' get it. I think like your Doc said, not common with adults. Easy to worry though, there is always something isnt' there! Best wishes ox
