Of course I got sick, then.

Usually for me that means using Lysol disinfectant spray or wipes on common surfaces like doorknobs, remote controls, phones, faucets, light switches etc. And I'll wash the toys that LO sticks in his mouth all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-everyone-around-you-is-sick-do-you-do-anything-different#post-1660655 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:47:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1660655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing different until I feel something coming on, and then I take Zicam religiously so I get over it quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-everyone-around-you-is-sick-do-you-do-anything-different#post-1660651 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:45:52 +0000 autumnlove 1660651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do anything different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-everyone-around-you-is-sick-do-you-do-anything-different#post-1660645 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:43:46 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1660645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink orange juice, wash everything and disinfect, and avoid contact if at all possible (not really doable if it's people in your household!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-everyone-around-you-is-sick-do-you-do-anything-different#post-1660637 Tue, 27 May 2014 13:41:25 +0000 mrbee 1660637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs. Bee picked up a sore throat/general malaise over the weekend, which I think our son picked up.
