A member asked:
My son has been throwing up and having clear watery diarrhea for a couple of days, how contagious is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably plenty: Take precautions; separate towels (consider using paper), dishes, utensils; separate bathroom facilities, if available. Wash with soap and water-a lot (your son should too). Disinfect bathroom surfaces, door knobs, kitchen surfaces, e.g. Lysol.
