6. Picking up physical symptoms off another: An empath will almost always
develop the ailments off another (colds, eye infections, body aches and pains)
especially those they’re closest to, somewhat like sympathy pains.
If this were totally true, I'd be dead.
There is one person I know who has every ache, every pain, every cold requires an antibiotic, every sniffle is the plague, all scratches are festering wounds and everything must be broadcast. This one has the Dr. on speed dial! You can hear death over the phone! If I picked up every ailment, ugh, just bury me already.
I keep hand sanitizer close to me (on my desk, in my car, in my purse). I wash my hands often. I try not to use public restrooms. I don't touch the bathroom door at work. I don't touch things that don't need to be touched. I clean my bathroom. I use the Lysol liberally in my home. Quite. Liberally.
I have plenty of my own aches and pains anymore (hell, I'm pushing 40!) but, I don't often discuss them. I catch a cold now and then. I have some trouble with my gall bladder if I eat avocado or nuts so I don't eat avocado or nuts. And I hate the Dr. office so if I can avoid him, I do. Thankfully, Jeremy has most of the same pains so no need to feel his too!
Though if Jacob is sick and throwing up, I will join him. Not in sympathy sickness but, I am a sympathy puker. If I hear it or smell it, I'll do it!
I do not like sickness. I will do most anything I can to avoid it.
