Never heard of it sorry. Does it have another name?

Well there is a flu virus going around that leaves the poor little sufferers with dark circles round their eyes, is that what you mean softmusk?

Hi Softmusk - am fairly new to MN but just noticed your thread. My DS had this last Monday. Apparently called "novovirus" or "winter vomiting bug". Very infectious - loads of schools affected throughout UK. Starts suddenly with nausea, then projectile vomiting,then fever, headache and general aches. Usually lasts 48 hrs but need to keep children at home for a further 24 hours once symptoms disappear as still infectious. And yes, some children are left with 'black eyes' as a result. Dark circles or shadows. A really bad bug to catch. Hope this helps.
