The hubby will be very annoyed when I tell him I can't kiss him anymore because he might be harboring a virus that won't show up for days, and I just can't take the chance anymore!
Well, I will be more careful now about letting people eat anything from my plate though. You're right about being cautious. I've always gotten sick so easily, since early childhood, but since becoming a "germ freak" and being very careful out in public, I am sick far less often than before. I avoid touching doors, public pens, shaking people's hands, etc., and I carry hand sanitizer always, just in case!
Well I guess it's fine with your husband. You will only double the risk of catching something if you are still careful with everyone else.
I am just being extremely careful. When one family member catches something, we would all have separated tableware for each person until everything is alright. Even when everyone looks healthy, we still have one "public" fork or spoon in every dish, and nobody shall put them into their mouth.
Back to the topic, I will be extra restrict with any pets on these issue. To most pet owners, pets are family members, but they are not as clean as the rest of the family members.
