Interesting! Thanks for posting that!!!
My kids both had Flu A (h1n1) 2 weeks ago.. I did not get the flu shot (I debated about it,, as last year getting it caused quite a bad exacerbation.. though I know that getting the flu would be bad too).. Anyhow.. they both coughed in my face and threw up on me too.. I just knew I would get it.. Shockingly I didn't actually get sick! I did feel bad and have a mild exacerbation (couldn't hardly swallow, breathing was not great and all over weak etc.) for a few days.. maybe I was fighting it off, or my immune system was stimulated..
But, I'm not sure why I didn't get it.. I seem to get everything nowadays.. Maybe some of the IVIG donors had antibodies and therefore protected me? I Hope the protection lasts!!
I also got sick post partum- good ol immune system went all sorts of haywire!
