Norovirus will I get it??

About 4 weeks ago the dreaded norovirus flew through my family within 2 days, I somehow avoided it even through I was thrown up on by DS2, and was cleaning bedding loads, plus helping the older kids as DH was being sick too.

I am supposed to be going out tomorrow night and my friend who was staying here with her husband till yesterday (from monday) and my cousin and his GF we saw on wednesday have all down with the Norovirus, so panicking that I will get it now, even though I avoided it a month ago.

Could I avoid it again??

mm hoping that I am immune to it or something.. I am thinking that I had more chance of getting it from my family than my friend and cousin. We are all fine here and its been 48 hours since my friend left here and 72 hours since seeing my cousin and GF.

I read somewhere that you can be immune for a year or two after having it but then by the time it comes around again after that you are no longer immune. I hope you are ok now. I always go on the 'three sleeps' rule. If I'm ok after three sleeps after contact with someone with sickness bug then I assume I am ok! I don't know if that is true. I hate sickness bugs so to the point of a phobia, can't you tell??

Still fine, am amazed that I have avoided it again...
