Question: I was exposed directly to a bad case of the flu!. How long would it be before I get it!?
I volunteer in the nursery in my church for one hour!. During my hour, one of the babies started throwing up!. It wasn't like a spit up, but more like a full out flu throw up!. We called the parents, and the child was taken home to be taken care of!. However, I helped to clean up the vomit!. This was all yesterday, and I'm not feeling so hot today!. I have a stomach ache and I've been having diarrhea today!. Could it be possible that the flu germ has gotten to me this quickly!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The incubation period is pretty short--about 1-2 days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Usually the gestation period for colds and flu is 3 days, so if you got it sooner that that, you may have already had it before the incident with the baby!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You probably came into contact with someone else that is contagious!. Usually it takes a few days to a week to get sick when you come into contact with someone that is sick like that!. Depending on what illness it is, it can take a few days to several weeks!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
