Neutropenic Precaution #7: Avoid Sharing
When living with other people, we will often tend to use the same items as others. This can include items such as cutlery, crockery, cups, mugs and even bath towels. For most of us, this is something that we give little thought to but for some people, it can present quite a risk.
A neutropenic person could develop an infection from the same bacteria that is relatively harmless to others. This means that you should avoid sharing any items whenever possible to help prevent the passing of bacteria. To help with this, you should purchase your own items that are distinct from everybody else’s and let them know that they are to be used by you only.
