Saw a young lad coming out of pub and he seemed to have it.

Sounds like Autumn pavement pizza syndrome Cisse. I think the full medical term is Studentius Harfpintus Spewringus. Can reach epidemic status and is easily caught by not washing, eating pot noodle for breakfast, drinking ***** beer for £1 a pint and scrounging off your parents.

Son said he went to the toilet cos he felt sick, wasn't sick, but then was sick on his way back to his room, (3 times) and every carpet was in the firing line. Trouble is with barf flying everywhere at that speed, it went all over his bed, his drawers, his walls, his toys...

Isn't being a parent brilliant? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

What is winter vomiting disease?

Winter vomiting disease is caused by the small round structured virus (SRSV), also known as the Norwalk-like virus or norovirus.

Norovirus lives in the gut and is passed from person to person by poor hygiene after using the bathroom - not washing hands properly after using the toilet and then touching toilet handles, seats, door handles and so on.

It can also be spread when someone vomits and small aerosols containing the virus enter the air.

Symptoms of winter vomiting disease

Only very small amounts of the virus are needed to cause illness and it's easily spread in closed communities, such as hospitals, schools and cruise ships.

The incubation period is usually between 24 and 48 hours. This is followed by severe and sudden projectile vomiting, diarrhoea and fever symptoms, which last about 48 hours.

Treatment and recovery from winter vomiting disease

Although the infection's unpleasant, it's rarely dangerous. There's no specific treatment, but rest and drinking plenty of water are recommended. A bigger problem is eradicating it fully.

Practising good hygiene by washing hands regularly reduces the chance of passing on the infection. People with the winter vomiting bug should stay off work while the symptoms persist and for about two days afterwards, when they're still infectious.

Horrible nasty virus it is 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

A couple of years ago I got a strain of the norovirus which lasted a lot longer than 2 days. (This is because of a neurological condition I have). It was so bad that it was one of the few times when I thought an illness was going to finish me off.

Last year my wife got something similar and was in hospital for 3 months.

PLEASE treat it seriously and do your very best not to spread it.

get hold of the gel that you clean your hands with at hospital/doctors etc. and use it.

I would not wish this virus on Hitler!
