A member asked:
Can your makeup re-infect you after an upper respiratory infection, viral or bacterial? i toss lip products, but what about eyeshadow, powders, etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little or no risk: After recovery from a respiratory virus, the infected person generally is immune to new infection with that particular strain. Probably no risk at all from resuming use of your cosmetics. But for sure don't let anyone else use them.
