Norovirus ‘Winter Vomiting’ Disease

By

Norovirus or ‘winter vomiting’ is the most common cause of gastro-enteritis in England and Wales and affects people of all ages. It is highly infectious and the common symptoms are: – projectile vomiting, – diarrhoea, – nausea, – raised temperature, – headaches and aching limbs. Prompt action is essential and cost effective when someone vomits in a public area in order to: – Contain the infection and reduce the number of people affected. – Prevent an outbreak occurring – Reduce disruption to the operation of the business or organisation – Minimise sick leave – Prevent bad publicity One of the most effective methods is using a body fluid kit to clean up vomit/diarrhoea safely.

    I have norovirus right now and let me tell you, I have never heard thoes sounds come from my body ever before. Also I never thought it was possible to puke and do three other things alll at once. It’s very violent, the stabbing stomach pains is what made me feel like I was going to die. I am deffinitly a germaphobe after getting this virus.

    Yes I only vomited once and really didn’t have diarrhea that bad, the worst thing about the sickness is the terrible stomach pains like you said like being stabbed.

    This virus is no joke. Caught it from my baby boy. Day one i thought i was gonna die…headache, fever, body aches, racing heart, stomach cramps and constant vomiting. Day 2 was extreme fatigue, nausea, fever and diarreah. Its now day 3 and im in a cold sweat, extremely fatigued and feel very very anxious and unwell. My baby boy is on day 5 and still has diarreah and low energy. Wash your hands folks. Dont want anyone feeling this bad
