...and contagious.

It happens. Yet in all my years of going to church, I have never knowingly caught a cold or flu from someone at church. And we're talking some Episcopal services where they drank from the same cup. Nor have I ever knowingly made someone sick.

I was curious if anyone experienced the opposite?

Similar experiences here. In the Orthodox church when we take communion we all receive from the same spoon directly in our mouths. One would think it would be a magnet for germs, thus making people sick but through both the work of God and the fact the spoon is covered in gold(which kills germs) I'm yet to here of somebody getting sick from it.

How could you possibly know where you got a cold or flu? Or know if you got another churchgoer sick?
