Basically we’ve had a stomach bug circulate the house ( I live with Mum, Nan, DP, my dc and lil sis) I had it first, 30th July, although didn’t know it was a bug as it was during the heatwave so I thought I’d simply overheated and as I was at FIL we travelled home, get Home to find out DS who was staying with FIL for an extra week was also sick. Fine... I literally felt great after being sick just a bit weak from not eating but otherwise great. Fast forward to last Tuesday night when my mum was also sick, same symptoms felt fine but weak after. Friday night dd had it and now my lil sis has just thrown up, she didn’t wash her hands, I asked her to as she was about to touch stuff round the house. I was nagging her not gonna lie but when you have a serious case of health anxiety and a fear of being sick you can’t help it. I was a bit pissed when my mum basically said it don’t matter anyway if your gonna catch it you will. So I just said well it helps to avoid it. I again told my sister wash her hands as she touched her mouth again. Mum told me I was paranoid. I reminded her about it last year when I had really bad norovirus and then ended hospitalised becaus eit caused me gastritis. I wash my hands every time I touch something. It’s a strange bug with a strange incubation. I have read that if you’ve had one strain of bug it’s highly unluckily you will get it again within 14 weeks as your body develops antibodies.
Am I wrong to insist that my sis be a bit more aware of what she’s doing and how it can affect others.
