What steps can I take to protect me and my kids? Please Read!?

Here is a biology fact that not many people know: Once a virus like strep throat has been detected (diagnosed) it is usually in your system already because it takes 72 hours for a virus to show symptoms, so if you are going to get it, you will get it no matter if you move across the country from him! So basically, there is nothing you can do except cross your fingers and hope you have already had that strain and have anti-bodies to fight it. I would be more concerned about the 3 year old personally, the 5 month old is protected by your milk right now for the most part. If no one has got it in the next day or two, it is safe to ume you guys aren't going to get it.
