MamaBearTeacher Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 What are the chances? I had to go to a walk-in clinic this morning for a skin issue. It was a pretty small room full of people, most of whom seemed to have serious upper respiratory infections. I was there for over 2 hours. I did not sit down or touch any surfaces. I tried to breathe through my mouth the whole time but I may have breathed through my nose a few times. I tried to stand off to the side away from the people but after a while a few people stood near me and the were coughing and had bad voices. I washed my hands and changed my clothes when I got home but did not wash my hair and had to use the same coat I was wearing to go out again. I took an emergen-c vitamin c pack with lunch when I got home, had chicken soup and zinc. I just worry about so many germs in the air in a confined place. I was also very tired because I slept little last night and I stood for 2 hours without eating breakfast. I can't afford to be sick because my kids require a lot of energy to homeschool and I don't want them to be sick either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel Mertz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Looks like you've done all the right things to prevent it. Did they not have face masks (that cover your nose and mouth) at the registration desk? Keep up the Vit C and zinc, don't skimp on sleep, and eat well. Hopefully, you'll be ok. I also use Sambucus when trying to boost my immune system; they also make one for kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaBearTeacher Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 they asked the people with colds and coughs to use the masks. Most didn't. I think they didn't all hear. maybe I should have worn one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
