No guarantee in life: Contagiousness varies among different "stomach viruses" and among different people, so is not easily predictable. However, one can feel safer if the sick son wakes up on Day 5 without any symptoms the preceding 4 days. If unlucky, she can still catch his virus and come down with the illness. Food poisoning is usually less contagious, but depends on the bacteria type.
