My niece came up with the flu last Sunday. She lives in Ft. Worth/Dallas area. I read on the net that you are contagious one day before the symptoms show up and
the AVERAGE maximum days is 10. They also said that young children can remain contagious longer than that!

I'm a little nervous about her coming home since she will be staying at Mother's house and she is in a very high risk category...

The staph infection's severity is part of our overuse of antibiotics. It's a super stain.

Take care everyone.
THEY say it's easier to get it than SARS. Just breathing in the same area of someone can transmit it to you.
