The guy I work with called out sick today and I'm freaking out. I worked with him yesterday and I'm convinced that I caught it. I wash my hands like crazy and I Cloroxed the phones and keyboards but I feel thick in my belly and I'm convinced I'm gonna get it. Thank you for being here. I'm out shopping with my husband and taking a minute to vent.

What kind of Clorox? The Hydrogen Peroxide (green container, NOT turquoise container) Clorox is the only one that actually kills noro. I assume you are talking about noro but you didn’t specify. Otherwise, you are around people, such as at the store today, who will have noro tomorrow and you don’t even know it. You will most likely be fine. You’re exposed all the time and you’re almost layaways fine.

Thanks Jess. I know you are right. I'm just feeling anxious. He didn't say what he had exactly. He just sent the green sick face emoji. I think I had the right kind of Clorox. Night time is the worst and it's night time here. ☹️ Thank you for being here.

Did he mention that it was noro? Even indirectly?

Hi jess - He's back at work. He tried to describe how gross it was and that he tried to come to work - I was like "Ummmmmmm...yeah. Thanks but stop talking...." I am still in major hand washing mode and have been exercising outside which makes me feel better. happy new Year to you. XO

I am still in major hand washing mode and have been exercising outside which makes me feel better. happy new Year to you. XO My house is tiny and mother was watching tv while I was doing some music theory homework. On the tv show, which I think was called Million Dollar Listing LA, a man and his pregnant wife were shopping for a stroller and the man wanted to buy the pricey one with real leather on this handlebar-like part of the stroller. Mother commented “get the real leather so your baby can p**e all over it.” I think p**e is one of her favorite words. Especially when referring to the cat’s hair balls, which I am unable to clean up. Last week, a child v in a crowded pool area. I had my earbuds in and head down - didn’t see it. I knew something was wrong by all the commotion. Nearly all the people, ages 6 to 80, were joking about swallowing v in the water. They did not wait the recommended 40 min just in case it was noro and they did not add more chemicals to the water. I did not get it - I left. My point is that people LOVE talking about v. Emetophiles are the worst - I have a teacher who is an emetophile - but pretty much everybody is a pain to us emetophobics. The people who I enjoy the company of the most - and that is not very many people - all are mature above that level. It was a small point in your post on this thread but there are some ways to have less triggers from people. As you did, tell them to stop. Also, stay away from them. If they constantly talk about an event that just happened, give them a couple days to get bored of it. Most people in this time period are easily entertained and therefore easily bored. They’ll move on, hopefully not to another triggering topic of interest.
