Does anyone know how long it takes for antibiotics to make a person uncontagious?

I did have a slight fever so I am gonna stay away from my team for 48 hours just in case. thanks! Oh and thanks for your compliment about Andrea, she is awful pretty and she's millions of other more amazing things!

yeah, I sent off an e-mail to the team this morning that I am not gonna be at the whiskey bar tonight. I was gonna rehearse a new poem with krissi and chris lee tonight though and I don't think I should now because I don't want to get them sick too. God, how awful would that be? thanks you are such a sweetheart. take care of yourself too, since I saw you at the scrimmage it was the day before it full blown which means I was pretty fucking contagious...sorry.

Hey, you may totally already know this... so I'm sorry if this is unnecessary, but antibiotics should totally be treated with care. Even after the 24 or 48 hours or whatever, keep taking them until they're gone. Even if you feel fine. If you don't, you're potentially allowing antibiotic resistant bacteria to develop in your body, which is just going to be even harder to get rid of later as well as maybe spread to others.

that said, I hope you feel better, and if you don't make it out to whiskey bar tonight, I'll see you in abq!

yeah, i won't be at the whiskey bar tonight. and I will be taking these antibiotics all through nats so I have to be careful and totally sober the whole time. but hey, a little drying out is a good thing especially if it's gonna save my voice. thanks for your concern you are so sweet. see you in ABQ!
