A member asked:
I was exposed to someone who had gastro over 3 days ago and i am not sick. i haven't seen them since is there a chance i can still get it or not ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Still a small chance: These infections usually incubate over a two to three day period, so you're almost out of the woods. If you don't have any symptoms by tomorrow, then you're probably OK.
