Noro virus

[Dman2]

Well
Been a bit of a battlefield here these last few days
I started being sick on Saturday, followed by wife on Sunday
Then unfortunately mother and father in law on Monday
Mother in law can hardly stand never mind do the 100m dash to the loo in times of need
Father in law has Alzheimers so has no idea whats going on
So things have been a bit messy
Hopefully everyone starting to get over it now.
Staying away from others till the end of the week at the earliest

Avoid if at all possible
Not nice

Its savage, we had it a few years ago when my brother and his partner came home from Australia for Christmas. Worst bit was it came back for round 2 just as i thought i was recovering.

Alot of bugs about at moment, local high school had 150 pupils off last week! About 25%. Wifes a teacher at primary school.

a packet of imodiumn and prayers got me home, but i spent 7 hours in the car (passenger seat!) with two coats on shivering all the way!

avoid if of possible

I did a stint on a cruise ship with norovirus. What people often forget is it can also be inhaled, so if someone is sick in front of you the chances you will get it. So apart from washing hands and wiping surfaces, if you have it stay in your room and keep out of everyone elses way.
I got it after two weeks, not nice, the only good thing is the worst is over in 48hrs, if you are healthy.

Alcohol gel doesn't kill Norovirus

Alcohol gel doesn't kill Norovirus

Or C.Diff

Or C.Diff

Not sure about C.Diff but I think that bleach kills Noro, the minute I hear about any kind of bugs going around I become practically OCD and have to bleach all the main contact points in the house such as door handles, light switches etc . I have always been a big believer on allowing kids to build a good immune system however and never been over the top on keeping them away from germs, bacteria etc. It seems to have backfired on me somewhat as I have an autoimmune disease!

can you catch it off the screen....

Google Search

This is meant to kill it and prevent picking it up for up to 6 hours. We make the kids put it on before and after school.

Been there got the T shirt. Trousers round my ankles in Winchester services carpark on way to brother in laws wedding. Car needed a deep clean after throwing up in it on the M3. Spent the entire wedding seriously poorly in a hotel while the Mrs carried on. Very unpleasant.

If you don't stop licking it you may well be the first to find out! ?

What if they cough after you've shaken hands?
