Over the weekend I had one of the most violent stomach bugs ever. Severe diarrhoea and vomiting with a near total wipeout.

So bad that I didn't know which end to hang over the porcelain lady first.

It came out of nowhere, hit very hard, and went quickly (within 24 hours) as well.

I blamed it on fried chicken or a dodgy hot dog. However back at work today I learned that at least three co-workers had similar episodes.

Has anyone on here had it as well? Any thought of what is going on?
 
Obviously some you ate at work or local sandwich type shop, Somewhere you all bought food from. Lunchtime burger van etc
 
Possibly, but unlikely as I was elsewhere along the river, compared to the others, leading up to this.

Just wondering whether more had this or not b
 
Norovirus is one culprit. It's highly contagious. Usually starts with stomach ache and feeling of doom. Then it's pouring out of both ends. I found it helpfully alternated so you were generally sick first, sat down for a bit, emptied rear end, sick again, then back to the rear. Fortunately my bathroom window is close to the bog so I could sit with the window open...

If it is noro you'll feel like you've been run over and drained of all blood for about a week and find yourself out of breath even walking up stairs. If you feel normal within 48 hours then it's most likely food poisoning. Salmonella can have quite bad reactions. It takes about 4 to 6 hours and you'll have stomach ache within 30 minutes of eating the offending item. Noro onset is about 24-36 hours after contact with a carrier. If it is noro then you must stay in for 36 hours after symptoms have stopped as you're still a carrier.
 
Stomach bugs (both viral and bacterial) are common, especially within groups of work colleagues or school children who frequest the same areas.
Cross contamination is easy.
If it's passed now I'd think no more of it....and be thankful is wasn't Norovirus.

Normally caught from wiping your jacksie with an infected rabbit skin. :eek:
 
I've had that over 24 hours couldn't keep water down! Both ends going non stop, passed out on way back to bed woke up on floor with just enough time to get on loo and over sink! Then took nearly 2 weeks to recover and get apetite back! Never felt so bad then it went through everyone else in the house [emoji40]
 
Good man, at least im not alone.

Still not closer to what it was, but arclights description was spot on. Albeit I felt better quite soonish. Interesting.
 
It did the rounds at my workplace last week. Five out of five people had it, my turn was on Wednesday. I went into work feeling fine, someone called in sick with the bug and a colleague who'd been off on Monday and Tuesday had just come back. Within an hour I had to go home, after a trip to the loo (more of a dash than a trip). Spent the next 24 hours being somewhat anti-social at both ends. Not nice at all but it didn't seem to last long.
 
Brilliant, another one :) thank you

Brilliant's not quite the word I'd use :) Driving through heavy traffic accompanied with assorted gurgling sounds from my digestive system, whilst clenching and living in fear that the slightest bump in the road could result in an environmental disaster isn't something I'd like to repeat any time soon. :puke:

That's just painted a far more vivid mental picture than I ever wanted to see.
Thanks :hungover:

Trust me it was brilliant as it didn't happen for you. Relieving my first gurgle didn't result in a release of wind. And lets leave it there :eek: I really don't want to go into more detail than that.
 
If I ever had to choose a super power it would be the ability to cause extreme diarrhoea in my enemies. Let's see Marvel make a movie about that! :p
 
Haven't there been enough s*** superhero movies? ;)

Yuck...but not Noro.

I wouldn't wish Noro on my worst enemy.
 
Happend to me last week it passed after the fourth roll of bog paper luckily ,or I would have been reduced to using our brown poodle for the next wipe :lock:
 
Aha look at this, they are all coming out now. Phew.
 
where's joe when you need him - he'd love this thread

I thought i was having this, this morning when farting as i went out the door resulted in an urgent need to change my underwear and trousers, and spending the next hour sat on the bog, while dealing with emails from my phone (noooo don't call me, send me an E ). However after the moment, ahem passed, i was okay for the rest of the day and I havent been sick so i'm guessing it was something I ate not the dreaded Norro
 
Eeew yuk don't know why but somehow knowing yours was "normal" makes it more disgusting

trust me theres nothing normal about spraying dirty water down the inside of your combats - fortunately I got my 90 quid meindls off before the effluent reached them - I had somre suspect looking fish last night (it was on offer in tesco , now i know why it was 64p)
 
Roflmao fair enough. Sure the boots are waterproof?

Simple test for fish. If it smells of nothing eat it, if it smells fishy leave it.
