...can you build up a short-term immunity from it? If so, after having to endure a pretty horrid episode this time last year, would I have built up some sort of resistance to getting it this time around?

Cheers,

14 weeks apparently. So yes you can get it more than once a year. Although I'm ok for 14 weeks.

May I suggest: http://www.steroplast.co.uk/article.asp?id=329

Thats the problem - its not just one good hurl, its over and over and over.

In fact, when your not sitting on the thrown you are hurling into it - sometimes within a split second. Very nasty.

Well the obvious solution to that is have the sink right in front of the carzy.

In answer to your question, no, I think its different every time round. My mrs is a nurse and has had it a few times now. Luckily I only caught it the once.

Surely if she stood closer to the sink you wouldnt need to catch "it" at all?
