if she had the Chicken Pox as a child? My partner recently went through 5 weeks of chemo and radiation followed by surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in her lung. (Upper lobe removed from right lung and lymph nodes in chest) My nephew now has the Chicken Pox and we need to know if being around him for Christmas is going to be a threat. Please, only serious answers as this could potentially be a life or death situation. Also, because her immune system is down, could she potentially catch them again? I had them as an adult but need to know if I can still be a carrier if I am exposed to it. Thanks!

How does being cold and wet help catch a cold?

Colds are germs, or something similar, right? So why is it probably you'll catch one if you're cold and wet?

Can you get sick from eating/drinking in a bathroom?

I mean if you don't let it touch anything. I seen people go into public bathrooms with coffee or food, just to acompany someone else. I always get the impression you can get germs from the smell? Pretty nasty.

Can an employer decide not to hire you if they discover you have Hepatitis B?

I have hepatitis B. At the moment I am going to go on an executive physical for a pre-employment exam. Do companies have a right to descriminate and withdraw thier offer of employment if they discover that you are Hep B Antigen positive. In the past, I have seen a doctor (internalist) and they gave me a green light to work without any restrictions. Mind you he suggested not to drink a single drop of alcohol. I am applying to be a technical specialist for an oil company. Can anyone advise me in this matter?
