Oh god I'm so sick.
Does anyone else have a bad stomach virus? And I do mean BAD.

4. I was just thinking that my stomach felt icky...
but I thought it might be a combination of the heat, humidity, and the yucky booger the ice cream man left on the cone I bought for my kid, which I touched :puke:

8. That's fucking nasty.
Mine started as feeling icky too. I live in hot and humid Mississippi...but it progressed quickly to the two conditions that are symbolic of stomach virus. I hadn't eaten anything today, so I know that's what it is.

I would have thrown the booger-coated ice cream cone back at the ice cream truck if that bastard had done that to me.

Gotta go...just typing the word booger...rrrrech!

27. I didn't notice it until I went inside.
I threw it away, telling my kid that they were out of his favorite today. Then I washed my hands with Lysol and anti-bacterial soap.

Hope you're better soon!

7. Its probably just food poisoning -
But if it lasts 24 hours or longer, it could be appendicitis! Happened to me about a year ago - it felt EXACTLY like food poisoning, ended up having to have my appendix taken out and pronto!

Wishing you well.

20. A couple of days. We started feeling sick on Saturday night
and by the time we got back to Texas on Monday night, we were both pretty much over it. But it was mild for us. I heard rumors of far worse cases.

Hope you feel better, soon.
