My brother and mum have been staying here to help out as I have just come out of hospital and DH has M.S. Unfortunately my brother went down with D&V yesterday morning - we quarantined him to the spare room and bathroom and disinfected the house etc, but now my mum has gone down with the same bug. I'm worried it's only a matter of time before the rest of us do.
I've tried to prepare by putting bowls and water next to everyone's bed, as well as spare bedding and PJs for the kids.
I've disinfected the house again and put all the towels/tea towels etc in a hot wash.
If I could scrub the kids hands with bleach I would do but as it is I've insisted on lots of proper handwashing with soap
Is there anything else I can do to avoid this spreading through the family? DH is likely to be hit hard by it and I'm already debilitated by recent surgery followed by two emergency admissions to hospital - I feel like I live in a plague house!!!
