How come when my brother gets sick, I get sick?

Question

Every time he gets a cold, I get one as soon as he's over it.And it's weird because we're both homeschooled,so it's not like he could get sick from someone else.He's not at school for 7 hours a day,so he couldn't be getting it from another kid who was at school sick the whole day .So where's he get it from?

Answer 1

It's all in your mind. If you are paranoid that you are gonna get sick from him then you probably will. There are many types of colds and sicknesses... I'm sure you guys go outside sometime. You can get sick from the things you touch that others have touched who are sick or have been in contact with someone who is sick.

Answer 2

There are a lot of places he could have picked it up. stores, parks, librarys, movie theaters, friends houses, ect... you probably picked it up from him. you are around him a good amount and germs spread quickly.

Answer 3

Try washing your hands often.   Germs spread pretty quickly...
