How frightened should I be?

[Meyer_Gdmnx]

So recently my house has had a problem with fruit flies and because of coronavirus I have been pouring my drinks into a glass instead of drinking them out of the can but due to the flies landing in my drinks I’ve been forced to drink out of cans I’m very very worried I’m going to get covid this way. Secondly I’m also really tired and lethargic all the time can’t think properly. I also don’t sleep well usually 4am until midday and I just feel out of control of my life like I’m unable to do simple things such as eat healthy meals on a means I general on a regular basis I always make sure I eat something but despite some promising weight gain earlier this month the momentum has dropped as I often cook the same stuff but I’m afraid to cook with meat and due to my ocd I often boil a kettle and sterilise all of the utensils I cook with including plates and cutlery has anyone got any comforting advice?

You can't get covid from fruit flies!

Sorry I think I’ve written this out poorly my worry was not associated with contracting covid from fruit flies but because I had been drinking straight out of cans rather than pouring them into a glass or cup as I have been doing since the acceleration of this pandemic I hope you’re continuing to stay safe and well hupercat

You have multiple things going on. First I think you have to tend to those flies.

Mayb use paper plates and utensils and throw them away instead of going through all that work.

Sleep is tough. I don't sleep well so can't offer much advice there. If you are sleeping 4 am to mid day that seems like enough sleep? Just a different time clock.

You have to eat and you have to eat healthy. Is there a medical reason for your lack of appetite? If you need reminders to eat then stick to some schedule. Chose healthy nourishing foods, Mayb small frequent meals through out the day.

Why not get a sealed reusable water bottle for your drinks?

Not sure if any of that helps. I hope you are able to get things under control.

Best of luck to you.

For the fruit flies, at a store like Wal mart you can get a fruit fly trap. It's this little plastic dish that you pour some sweet bug killer in, it attracts all the fruit flies and kills them. And take out your kitchen trash on a regular basis to prevent them from coming back and clean the sink.

Fruit flies are such trouble.I bout a spray for house plants and have thrown them out.Fruit flies lay eggs in plant ground and leaves, Fruit flies cant live in cold so....freeze in a bag keep fruit veggies potatoes etc in a different cold maybe even outside in garage.Outside flies all of a sudden showed up so terrible and then went away.Hate fly strips but if they work great. vinegar and water in a glass can catch some ...OCD pays off if you take room apart and clean all.Energy is the problem here.
