While bathing in Lysol would work... not very practical. Make sure though that you are washing linens like every day or every other day. This will help prevent re-contamination when everyone goes to sleep. Also, some lysol on telephones (cell and home) and doorknobs is also a very good simple thing that could help everyone out.
Make it a rule also that everyone wash there hands before going into common spaces, such as a silverware drawer or the refridgerator. This could help with cross-contamination. One other thing is to make sure that everyone in the house gets new toothbrushes. Probably already thought of all this, but hopefully it can get your family bug free.

It could mean that Lamictal wasn't the culprit, but within a week of stopping it, all my body and joint pains were gone. I might wait until spring or summer when everyone is healthy before I start it again if my p-doc agrees. I have been OK without is so far, but yes, my mood and energy level was much better when I took it.
I didn't think about the linens. We change them once a week, but maybe more often while the viruses are around would be better. Also, every year I forget about the toothbrush thing.
