Question 1

why do bed bugs bite me and not my wife and where in the same bed?

Accepted Answer

Probably not bedbugs: Have you seen them? Are there red/brown dots on your sheets? See a dermatologist. Are there itchy, scabby sores in lines?

Question 2

my brother-in-law tested positive for omicron then recovered.my sister shared the same bed without mask but she showed no symptoms.she also tested several times and the results were negative all the time.why didnt she catch it?

Accepted Answer

: She may be one of the few that are naturally immune, developed immunity from past vaccine or had it without symptoms sometime in the remote past. There is also the possibility she had it but tested negative, all of which has been known to happen.

Question 3

is it normal for a 9yo to sleep in the same bed as a parent?

Accepted Answer

Depends on culture: Within some aboriginal tribes of the rain forest it is common for the tribe to sleep communialy, in family groups.It is part of a culture that requires consensis for all decisions & holds individualism a taboo. Industrialized cultures prize self reliance & individual accomplishment.That starts with being able to sleep alone.If you want to raise a self reliant kid you help him learn to sleep alone.

Question 4

can my husband get shingles by sleeping in the same bed?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If your husband has ever had chickenpox or been vaccinated against chickenpox, he doesn't need to worry.  If for some reason he's not already immune to chickenpox, then he's at risk by just being around you, regardless of whether he sleeps in your bed.

Question 5

is it possible to contract hpv from using same bed sheets and sharing a drink?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Hpv is generally spread by close contact such as sexual intercourse.  It is not spread simply by sleeping on the same sheets as someone with the virus, or from sharing a drink.

Question 6

is it possible to be immune to bedbugs so that only the other person in the same bed gets bites?

Accepted Answer

No: They are attracted by carbon dioxide so that thy be more attracted to one person. Call exterminator to confirm bedbugs and rid house of bedbugs.

Question 7

how long to wait before sleeping in the same bed as someone who has a sickness and diarrhea bug?

Accepted Answer

Until diarrhea stops: You have asked a broad question so i will answer it with a broad answer. As a general rule of thumb i would wait until the diarrhea had stopped and all other signs and symptoms of infection had gone away. Your partner should be without fever and without any other symptoms.

Question 8

please explain how i can have scabies but no my husband and we share the same bed/linen and have been intimate.

Accepted Answer

Later symptoms: Your husband may have symptoms later than you.  Important for him and other household contacts to be treated for scabies along with you.

Question 9

my wife has a wound infected with mrsa, she is healing and takings meds. can we still lay in the same bed, intercourse, etc? her wound is on her back

Accepted Answer

As long: as you practice good hygiene  hand washing etcand keep the wound covered  feel freee to enjoy the pleasures of a loving couple

Question 10

my daughter had covid, and i have it now, we sleep on the same bed, but now that she's negative, can i give it to her again if i sleep with her, since i'm still positive?

Accepted Answer

: Your daughter now has antibodies that are active due to her recent infection so, since you most likely have the same strain, she will be protected with these antibodies. This will prevent her from getting the infection again this soon. Good luck!
