Sacred of being infected

So today my co-worker brought in a guy who had the H1N1 Flu 36 hours ago into my office for a meeting with a whole bunch of other co-workers. As soon as he said he had it I got so scared. I left the meeting after 10 mint. Calling my doctor but do you guys think I could get infected even though it been 36 hours since he had it?

From what I have read, the virus takes about 3 days to incubate. Give it another couple days. If you don't have any symptoms by then, I think you are good. Meanwhile, just push lots of fluids and try to rest. That guy shouldn't have come in. All of the kids I work with have been told to stay away from everyone for at least the first 7 days from the time they came down with it. Ugh, people just don't think of others sometime. Good luck!! I am a little panicked myself. Hopefully we will make it through healthy!

Usually, most people are contagious before the symptoms even start. If he's been fever free (unmedicated) for the past 24 hours, you should be fine.

We have people coming into work here who are sick and it baffles me that they're so cavalier about it- luckily, I was immunized against H1N1 but still! I just keep hand sanitizer in close proximity, drink plenty of water and rest whenever I feel I need to. And don't skip your prenatals!!!

Luckily the H1N1 isn't airborne. The only way to get it is if you touched his hands or something his hands touched then touched your nose/mouth/eyes etc. As long as you didn't really touch anything that he was near and just sanitize and wash your hands ALL the time. I am sure you are fine =)
