Norovirus gastroenteritis


After defrayment a weekend in bed with self diagnosed Norovirus, i assumed the data would build a good post. Norovirus could be a contagious virus that causes unforeseen onset of  vomiting, headache, body ache and feeling terribly terribly sick.  It strikes 12-48 hours once exposure, either by ingesting contaminated food or water or shut contact with somebody United Nations agency has the virus. after you hear of a liner being smitten by unhealthiness or nursing homes or kid care facilities...the wrongdoer is typically Norovirus. I actually have no plan wherever I caught it. It wasn't a patient and that i rarely catch something from patients. nobody else in my family was sick. I hadn't eaten  out that the supply can stay a mystery.

I will tell you from personal expertise that like most viruses, this 1 starts with body aches, headache and uneasiness. That infective agent feeling is followed by emesis and abdominal cramping. you only feel knocked out. No reading, no blogging, nothing however misery.

Like any intestinal flu the largest health danger is dehydration. If a patient will replace fluid by beverage, he are fine. young children or debilitated folks area unit at the most risk. the common person like Maine simply gets over it.

The good news regarding Norovirus is that it solely lasts regarding 24-48 hours. simply long enough to ruin a gorgeous weekend with numerous activities planned as well as enjoying a court game tournament and a flowery gala fundraiser for build a want Foundation.

What did I do?  Complained plenty.  Washed my hands religiously and used bleach on surfaces to scrub.  Drank water followed by juice and eventually Greek deity wah wah ton soup (my illness comfort food). currently i am prepared for work on Monday.
