Depends on how strong your immune system is. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water each day - that will keep your mucus membranes in good working order which will help to keep your defenses strong.

I have a 2 1/2 year old and 3 month old twins, I very rarely get what they get. Well, my twins haven't gotten sick yet.... but with my son, I don't get what he has and during those rare times that I do, I got different symptoms than him.

Very rare, I think I must have a high imune system, but I rarely get sick, occasionally I will get a touch of what they get, but I recover pretty quick

Yep, and it usually happens at school holiday time. Each of the kids gets sick in turn (never at the same time) and I am the one that has to look after them. Then hubby invariably gets it, and by the time it has finished, and I have time to calm down and slow down (usually in the holidays) then it is my turn. Looking after myself let alone all the kids home, it is a nightmare. You are not alone. It is just that we are exposed to it by looking after them that it is inevitable I think.

I don't know why but it seems (I hope I don't jinx myself), that when ever my little fellow is ill I have never caught what he has. But the hubby is usually the unlucky one..

I believe it has something to do with the fact that I am so active looking after hubby and son (as we all know most hubbys when sick feel like they are dying..) that the bug just can't get a grip on what ever it needs to in side me to hold on and make me sick...

No question is silly!

Every time Ry ( 15 months old ) has had a cold, both me and my husband have both caught it off him...He has had 4 colds... But he had gastro twice and neither of us got that.

Hope that helps.
