[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would drive me NUTS. [b]I get everything. So if someone comes over with a little case of the sniffles that turns into a two day cold, I'm out for like five days with a terrible cold. I just have a crappy immune system, always have. [/b]

Stop "trying to hint" - change to "So excited to see you this weekend! Just a note that we do NOT want to get sick, so if you have any cold symptoms at all, please let us know so we can reschedule." And if someone showed up at my house, even after a three hour drive, even if it was my mom, with a runny nose and a cough, I would not let her in the house. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you were sick. We cannot risk getting sick right now, we're going to have to postpone the visit." Do that once or twice, it'll never happen again.

Done. [/quote]

+1  This is me.  I don't get "mild" colds, I get really sick for 1-2 weeks and it is miserable.  I also get painful ear infections after almost every cold, even as an adult.  I HATE when people come over or show up for a previously scheduled event with sniffles because "It's just a cold!"  Your "just a cold" for me is at least a week of hell.  My ds is the same.  I think it is so selfish and arrogant of people to just decide that since they feel being "a little sick" isn't so bad that they can inflict on others.

I have stopped people at the door and turned them away for showing up with a cold.  [/quote]
