Other people's snot can make me sick

So I am use to wiping my own nose with the back of my hand whenever I am sick. But it never occurred to me that if I wipe someone else's nose while they are sick and I am not then more than likely I could get sick pretty darn quick. Now I don't have the SNOT RUNNING DOWN MY CHIN kind of sick, but I feel raw and hoarse. Of course every time my daughter sneezes you need a kevlar vest to keep from being attacked by a germ goo wad. On more than one occassion recently I had to wear my slicker while placing myself in her line of fire. Now we're both eating antibiotics like candy, but of course she gets us to shove its liquidy goodness down her throat while I have to pop pills (like I need another pill!) At least I got some codeine cough syrup for a chaser. Ah, the season of sickness. Hohoho.
