Scared to get virus, I'm emetephobic?!


Question: Scared to get virus, I'm emetephobic?
My dad came home today, saying he had to look after my nan as she had diarrhoea, sickness and faintness. I'm worried that she has this norovirus. And my dads brought it home.. I'm emetephobic (fear of sick) so this is beginning to worry me.. He said she's ok now, but his morning she was quit bad and almost passed out. If she has the virus, will she be okay? And could I get it? Thanks!

You should get some plastic gloves and a bottle of anti bacterial toilet wash. Every time Nan uses the bathroom put your gloves on and wash the seat and surrounding hand rail if there is one and the sink and taps. Do this without her knowing cos she will feel hurt if she thinks you are disinfecting after her but it's the only sure way to prevent you and the rest of the family catching her bug. You can also get one of those antibacterial hand gel washes for the sink. SHe is elderly and elderly people are far more likely to catch these kind of bugs than someone young and healthy like you so be a big girl and a good grand daughter and forget your worries by helping her in her time of need. You can get some nice clean towels out for her too and leave them on the bottom of her bed in your house so she knows they are just for her. she will need a lot of rest and peace and quiet now while she recovers poor thing.
