I would say that most people who get outbreaks only one or twice a year do NOT go on suppression.

You are developing OCD about this. I hope you will listen to what I’m telling you and try to live without all these interventions that you are doing. If you cannot, I would strongly suggest that you do some cognitive behavior therapy to deal with this. REally. It’s better for your family.
I am so afraid of infecting them while shedding…
