(wtf) i just had the projectile vomiting bug

[dr emulator (madmax)]

as the title says i just had this nasty virus last night/this morning

but the thing that bugs me is i haven't been anywhere for several days so how in the hell did i pick it up?

i have several theories as to where it might have come from

(no 1) cousin was brought round and my auntie changed his( (poop)ie) diaper in the living room (very stinky) :eek:

(no 2) dirty water from the shower (ours heats up the cold water) meaning that our supply could be contaminated :mad:

(no 3) i was bought a toshiba dvd player (the drawer had been ripped out by one of the patients at a mental hospital our old man works at (just needed taking apart and putting back on the guide rails :D) and as they aren't the cleanest of people (they have their own carers)it could have come from me handling the dvd's case and the remote controls that came with it

(no 4) i had a curry sauce with fish fingers (ye ye weird combo but i thought i'd try it :rolleyes:) now this curry really didn't smell quite right and beleive me i've had a few so i do know what they smell and taste like suffice to say it might be going back to the shop :mad:

no one else in the house has been ill, so i very much doubt it was them

anyways when you guys catch it, what do you use if anything to get rid of it?

how do you go about not dehydratiting ?

after 2 hours had passed(from being sick) i started sipping a lemsip (cold remidie to those who don't know what it is ;)) to get my lquid levels up , i also took a bit of a valium (which are meant to stop you from feeling nauseous, which worked but left me feeling even weaker :(

i have in the past used something called pepto bismol, which seems to help alot, only thing is we are pretty much snowed in here, so i couldn't get to the pharmacie yesterday http://i.tpucdn.com/forums/images/smilies/cry.gif

if this seems alot of waffle it's because i've hardly had any sleep (and it's 5 am )http://i.tpucdn.com/forums/images/smilies/twitch.gif

1. no

2.doubt it but possible.

3.no

4. biggest possability, how often do you have fish?

[dr emulator (madmax)]

not very often maybe once a week, and these are the culprits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_finger) they where cooked enough (burnt a bit), i'm still thinking the sauce was bad

[jmcslob]

When I get that I take 2 Imodium with a shot of Pepto Bismol
I literally use the Pepto to take down the Imodium followed by 1 cup of water 3 minutes later and it's like instant plug..

Boot into safe-mode and run a virus-scan.

But booting (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Boot&defid=4231999)is the problem.

I know. Really lame pun.

Use a boot disk.

Well, for vomiting, try peppermint tea, or anything with peppermint in it. Pepto is the best though. Now, if you are blowing it out the other end as well, then I would suggest coconut or something with coconut in it.

Those are the best natural remedies. Otherwise, just keep pounding down water and wait for your body to flush it.

i had some pepto bis earlier, but because it was cold i brought it back up again, so i added some warm water first and kept it down
but made the mistake of adding boiling water http://i.tpucdn.com/forums/images/smilies/shadedshun.gif which makes it go all stringy,

i've not eaten anything yet because simply put i'm not hungry

i haven't had peppermint tea for some time but will give it a try ;)
as although lemsips are ok they have far to much paracetamol for my liking 1000mg per sachet :eek:

Altoids still have "real peppermint oil" I think. I have no idea what a good "dose" would be though.

Off-topic but I can highly recommend an Altoid blowjob. It's hard to describe the sensation but it is 'curiously refreshing.'

You have the shits/puke caused by Norwalk virus.

Try altoids and an ice cube next time.

Ummm, all hot water heaters heat up the cold water. That kinda how you get hot water. What did you think, they pipe hot springs directly into houses?

ye ye :p i know that, just that it only slightly heats it and that damned bug is a pretty resilient one
take a look here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norovirus):eek:
tbh i was shocked when i read this part Norovirus is rapidly inactivated by sufficient heating and by chlorine-based disinfectants, but the virus is less susceptible to alcohols and detergents as it does not have a lipid envelope.

if this is what i have got, it needs a little more than just warming up, meaning the shower would have to be boiling the water to kill it
and i don't have showers to hot, anyways i usualy rinse my teeth whilst i'm in there, i don't think i'll be doing that in future (toast)

tell theJesus to pray for you that it goes away. :D

This thread is worthless without pictures.

No, but I would like more milk chocolate at the celebration of your resurrection. See what you can do for me?
I'll have a talk with the Easter bunny.
