I had the flu this past week.Can I reinfect myself by using the same items I had while I was so sick? |
Just wondering how much disenfecting I have to do now that I'm feeeling better. No...first your immune system has taken care of flu for this year and second the virus will not survive that long on surfaces...just wash off items like you would normally.... no, you had it already. if you dont have it anymore, you are now immune to that version - otherwise you would still have it. Yes! Buy yourself a new toothbrush (or if you can't run your old one through the dishwasher cycle). You may also want to wash your bedsheets and pillowcases for good measure, but the toothbrush is the main thing. (for the rest of the house, just make sure to wash your hands every so often) Yes I think you can get sick again by using certain items like toothbrush. |
