Is this too unpleasant to do even in the circumstances?!

We have to catch a flight this evening and our bedding is not in a good state after a night and day of sickness bug. I have no time to now wash it. Is it too awful to leave it on and wash when we return? It’s cheap bedding and I’m now wondering if we throw it out rather than leave it?!

Ok you better contact the NHS to inform them as you clearly know better.

Nope. The information I posted is from NHS.

Are people really being sick in their beds? I cannot imagine anything more disgusting. You MAKE yourself get to the bathroom if you are going to be sick - NO excuse.

Of course there are excuses, don’t be ridiculous. Our whole family had a chest infection that had to be treated with Doxycyclene, which made everyone ill. My elderly mother was sick and had the runs in her bed because she was too weak to get up and go to the bathroom. Try a bit of critical thinking before you post something like this because it’s ridiculous and not at all representative of real life.

Does travel insurance payout for cancelling a holiday due to a minor illness unverified by a GP? I don’t think some people live in the real world. Of course their going to catch the plane!

YABU - leaving soiled sick sheets on beds!
YABVU - getting on a plane with a D&V bug!!

How did people get by before being able to run each daily decision past people on the internet 🤣

How did people, or do people get by with only 1 set of bedding? It's like the dark ages!

I was sharing a bed with my daughter when she was 2.... "Mummy?"
"Y..."
She turned over and was sick in my mouth just as I was saying yes.

That's when you need to write a song about it.

I wish you nothing but the best dose of projectile Noro.

You're welcome.

I posted the info from the NHS and added a link.
Norovirus is not considered an airborne pathogen in the strict sense.
But vomiting can create short-lived aerosols that carry the virus, which is why outbreaks spread so quickly in closed environments like planes

Is it me or does Friday always bring out the weird posts?

Sigh.... It's Friday, the weekend, Spot the posters who make one wind up post and vanish.

BellissimoGecko · 05/09/2025 22:06

you are completely unreasonable for getting on a plane with a sickness bug.

You are also completely unreasonable and minging to think about leaving dirty bedding on your bed while you go away. 🤢🤢🤢 Throw it out, for God’s sake.

Jesus.

Bedding in bin liners and take to dump on way to airport.

Order new while you’re away.

I read this as ‘and take a dump on way to airport’ and was wondering what it meant, like it would make them less infectious or something 😅

Yep. There have been a few dump and runs today.

Emma6cat · 05/09/2025 22:11

bin it right away.

Hope you have been clear of V&D for 48 hours before getting on a plane full of people

Ooh, ooh, can I try m please? Tonight it’s vomit on the sheets and wee in the supermarket car park. I’ll go try to spot a “poo in an unsuitable place” post and then I’ll have the full bingo card of hit and run threads!!

Booboobagins · 05/09/2025 22:46

Bin it. It will develop ita own legs by the time you get back and your place will reek.

EasySqueezy · 05/09/2025 23:09

Jesus. I would not want to be on that plane with your family.

You cannot be serious OP.

The stuff posted on here sometimes is just ridiculous. You would think some of it is made up.

We have silver round washing up bowls under kids beds. They are used for nothing else.

The acid in vomit can corrode silver. That’s why all my sick bowls are made of gold or platinum. 😉
