My roommate in a college dorm has tonsillitis, am i going to get it too now?

Maybe: You are at risk in getting tonsillitis as well. Don't share food, cups, utensils, napkins, etc. Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands frequently and remind your roommate to do the same. Make sure your roommate covers his/her mouth when he/she sneezes or cough.
