Norovirus 'Winter Vomiting' Disease

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.

@xXDinousarDinoXx 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.

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.
