A member asked:
I have a house full of people with flu and tonsillitis, how do i prevent my 18 month old daughter who is not sick at the moment from getting sick?

Contagiousness: There is nothing to do to prevent this other than your guests not sneezing or coughing into the air or by them not washing their hands regularly. Viral illnesses at this time of year are usually spread through the air and breathed in.
