Germaphobes vs. Germophiles: What's Your Family's Germ Policy?

I do believe in the flu shot. My daughters and I each get one yearly, and my husband does as well, when it’s convenient for him. He doesn’t go out of his way to get immunized. Even so, I would say each member of my family gets sick once or twice per year. We each bring germs to the house from different places, so when one person gets sick, I go into germ protection overdrive. My goal is to contain the illness to the one sick family member and prevent it from spreading through the family like wildfire.

The sickie is assigned a specific spot on the couch, has to use his or her own blanket and pillow, is limited to reusing one glass or mug, and must deposit all used tissues into a special plastic bag I provide for that very purpose. Every few hours, I wipe down all the surfaces he or she could have potentially touched with Lysol wipes. I also spray Lysol in every room where the person goes. Sheets, towels, clothing - everything gets washed halfway through the sickness and as soon as the person is better. While cleaning or handling laundry, I wear plastic gloves.

You may laugh, but I tell you it’s very rare that an illness spreads through our family. We’ve had swine flu in the house twice, and both times it was limited to the one poor sick person. We will never prevent germs from spreading, no matter how much Purell we use, but we can limit our exposure once we know they have arrived.
