VRE is not doom ii particularly dangerous to healthy adults as long as they take adequate precautions but is extremely dangerous in the elderly, children and adults with compromised immune systems. A gown must be worn along with doom ii gloves whenever you get near a patient that has it no matter what your health status. In my case, doom ii however, not only did I not know he had the bug, I have been sick with this asthma-cum-respiratory bullshit for over a week and have been on three separate corticosteroids to try and resolve it. And one of the major side effects of said drugs is immunosuppression. Swell. And I was practically in his lap while I fed him, not wearing any gown or gloves. The only thing going for me is that I'm a maniac about hand-washing. If I'm not actually washing them every five minutes, I'm constantly slathering the water-free alcohol handwashing solution all over the place. Yeah I'm a drama-queen and will probably be fine but it's really playing with fire. Thank you doctors.
