What could have caused this sickness? Sorry if TMI!

[Funkyslippers]

On our last day of holiday to Spain (last Fri) OH was sick. The following night I had sickness & diahorrea. Yesterday DD was also sick. All of us recovered within 24 hours. OH reckons we all had sunstroke but DD & I didn't become ill until at least a day and a half after the holiday. I think OH had sunstroke but reckon DD and I got food poisoning from a cheesecake that was left out of the fridge for too long on Saturday afternoon although it was 12 hours after me being ill that DD was ill. Any ideas anyone?

Surely a bug as you all caught it sequentially?

Yeah just a standard sickness bug

probably just a virus

A bug?

I'd say most likely a gastro bug

A bug. I had a 24hr vom bug last month. Obviously puked enough during that time to get it out of my system. Would always assume a bug for short term sickness.

I assumed bugs lasted longer. OH and dd2 hasn't been ill at all

I meant oh, and DD hasn't been ill at all. OH has, and didn't we all know it 😄

We've had bugs where each person had only thrown up once. DDs both threw up once on Saturday night, DH threw up Monday night.

I actually don't think we've ever had a particularly long lasting vomiting bug.

Way more likely just a mild sickness bug.

If it was food poisoning you'd know about it, you definitely wouldn't have just been sick once and then be fine. Last time I had it I was hospitalised, food poisoning doesn't fuck around.

Norovirus

“If it was food poisoning you'd know about it, you definitely wouldn't have just been sick once and then be fine. Last time I had it I was hospitalised, food poisoning doesn't fuck around.”

Depends on the type of food poisoning.

noro tends to spread faster and is pretty bad tbh. Standard sickness bug and other dd has better hand hygiene…

Norovirus.
And I reckon your dh had it too and ‘kindly’ gave it you all
(Handwashing has to be strict fir it not to spread)

I didn't say we'd only been sick once. We've been sick 2/3 times. But yes a stomach bug seems more likely. Thanks all

If your dd was sick yesterday, there is a chance your other dd will still get it. I hope she doesn’t, though! Sounds like a sickness bug. My teacher immune system means that I never catch sickness bugs when they go round my house (thank god!)

Or dd1 has great hand hygiene which is why she didn't pass it on!

Yes I agree. I've had food poisoning & didn't need to be hospitalised. Thanks, Harvester!

It's usually combining into contact with faeces that has transferred from someone's hand onto food.

Yep I'd say sickness bug.

Noro is very fast spreading and the sickness is pretty full on / violent and its pretty hard to avoid it if you've been exposed.

That said we had a Noro outbreak at school. 3 DC and I attended an outdoor event just before the outbreak was announced and overnight about 10 people went down with it (along with the 20+ people sent home during the actual school day).

DD2 came down with it less than 24h after the outdoor event and just when she was clear DD1 came down with it. DD1 was much, much more poorly but the time frame didn't really fit Noro? (72h from exposure to definite cases?)

I then got ill but instead of sickness it was the other end. Urgh.

So who knows what we had.

DS and DP never got it. I was meticulous about keeping the loo clean / wiping down everything that sick people touched and handwashing for us all. But I was very exposed.... I looked after both puking kids and slept in same room (DD1 was puking every 20 mins or so for 8 hours!) so I'm not surprised I got it.

Yep, they all got sick within 48hrs so noro is most likely imho.
