My distant French cousin with CF wants to come visit me

I don't know about the CF part but the being french has me a little concerned <img src="">

As long as she isn't culturing a multiresistant bacteria if you want, go for it.

take care

I would say do it....as long as there's no superbug that she has. I have spent many hours around other people with CF (CF camps, visiting in the hospital, hanging out, etc). I was never concerned unless there was something like cepacia, which none of them had. I mean, there are tons of families that have siblings or first cousins with CF and they are each other all the time. I think it sounds like a wonderful experience!!! Just ask about what she cultures so that you both have a sense of security about it.

I agree with what Uli said...have her stay at your parents & meet her at other places--outdoor places would be ideal.

At CF conferences, isn't there something about a 3 foot rule? As long as you stay 3 feet away from each other, you should be OK. Of course, the obvious things should be implemented, such as coughing into a kleenex, not touching the same things with bare hands, etc.

I'd agree with NoExcues and Lynda. I'm a big chicken when it comes to CF and would never want to give my bugs to anyone and even more importantly don't WANT bugs from anyone.

On that note, I have a niece with CF that we have never passed a single bug, we are around eachother all the time and are super careful. But I know it's my choice to be around her and put myself at risk and that is worth it to me because I am so close to her. I don't know (personally) if I'd risk it for someone soooo distant.

I like the idea of meeting in public places, maybe not sitting right next to eachother, using practical hygiene, etc. Common sense things.

If it's worth it to YOU then do it. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Let us know what you decide.
