So today I went to a clinic to get antibiotics for a sinus infection, and while I was waiting to be called back, a father and his child were standing to my left, at the check-in desk, probably about 8 feet from me, and then I heard I splattering noise coming from their direction, so I looked over, and the child had vomited on his shoes. Immediately (within 3 seconds), I exhaled, covered my nose and mouth with my hands, ran past them, and out the door to my car. I didn't smell anything and I didn't conciously inhale after I saw it. I've gone home, taken a scalding shower, changed clothes, and bleached everything I had with me, and now I'm just waiting, paranoid, until the average incubation period for Norovirus (12-72 hours) is done so I can either face my worst fear or thank God that I didn't come down with anything. Anyone who is knowledgeable about this virus or other gastrointestinal viruses, please try to tell me how likely it is for me to get sick. Be blunt, I want to be prepared.

This is the time of year for it. I have heard that probiotics can build up your immunity to it and of course, always wash your hands a lot with good old soap and hot water. When me and hubby come in from being among others, like shopping, we wash our hands as soon as we come in.
I wish you a healthy end of 2014 and a good 2015 !
