Different illnesses have different amounts of time that it requires for a person to become symptomatic. It's possible, but definitely not a certainty. I don't know about where you are, but EVERYONE here has been sick with all kinds of junk, so I just assume we're always a walking time bomb of illness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2704234 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 09:16:49 +0000 Mamaof2 2704234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>and now he's throwing up.....ugh :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2703343 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 11:26:54 +0000 Alba4 2703343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The norivirus can supposedly live in surfaces for 7 days!!! Crazy. I Lysol wipes like crazy and even machine washed all of DS1's stuffed animals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2703216 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 08:24:29 +0000 Mamaof2 2703216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days of fever and that's it - whew!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2702727 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:54:20 +0000 kodybear 2702727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it can pass in a day. one time MIL was sick, bad hacking cough, and even tho we, including BIL who is a doctor(!!),all told her not to hold DD she still got a hold of her somehow. anyway, the next day DD had a cough that sounded almost identical. Coincidence? maybe, but probably not. haha smh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2702710 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:06:07 +0000 littlebug 2702710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just reading about the norovirus. That sucker can last for days, even when dried out. And it hits fast and hard. Good luck!!!</p> <p>ETA: Here's the link to the article <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/5-things-you-didn-t-know-about-nasty-stomach-flu-n714241" rel="nofollow">http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/5-things-you-didn-t-know-about-nasty-stomach-flu-n714241</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2702708 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:00:04 +0000 Boogs 2702708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Hope so for you, stomach bugs are the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2702680 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 15:18:17 +0000 Mamaof2 2702680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: @Boogs: ugh! I'm kicking myself for not separating them - the mom assured me that he got sick from eating old pizza but my gut told me otherwise - DH just went to grab him from school - just a fever for now....fingers crossed its doesn't turn into a stomach bug!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2702677 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 15:16:38 +0000 Boogs 2702677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally accuse them of being a carrier monkey. Too much of a coincidence for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2702661 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 15:07:34 +0000 psw27 2702661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think with certain bugs/viruses/strains 20 hours is totally possible. Especially things like the flu and stomach viruses. My mom is of the opinion that colds and viruses are "7 days coming, 7 days going" but I think that's an old wives tale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quick-do-germs-pass#post-2702657 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 15:03:46 +0000 Mamaof2 2702657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If someone was sick and your child was around them and then 20 hours later your kid is sick.....coincidence? Or did they pass the bug? </p>
