Contagious?

Blog post #371 of 365

How do you know when you are no longer contagious? From what the doctor said I need to wash my hands often and not let anyone touch my head.

Really not much information. But then again I was in a hurry to go to the eye specialist, to wait five hours...

So I looked it up. It said what the doctor said but also said to cover the affected area. So I have had on a bandanna or hat and staying away from the immune suppressed or old folk. Mom had it so she can't get it from me, yay! It says once the spots scab over (like chicken pox) I would be less or no longer contagious depending on which site you believe. But they all said the same medication was needed which I am taking and to finish it. One says to be "cautious" until the medication is finished.

I don't have scabs. I have dry patches. I have areas that burn still but it says that could last for months and in some cases never go away. Ugh!

But how contagious am I? Or am I at all...
