Curse you, evolution!
This is the second time in about a month than I’ve been infected by one of these annoying noroviruses.
The symptoms of norovirus illness usually include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and some stomach cramping. Sometimes people additionally have a low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a general sense of tiredness. The illness often begins suddenly, and the infected person may feel very sick.
No kidding … I get up to get ready for my morning classes, and … blam! Instant illness.
Anyone can become infected with these viruses. There are many different strains of norovirus, which makes it difficult for a person’s body to develop long-lasting immunity.
Curse you, evolution, for making so many different strains of this bug!

I got hammered by what sounds like this exact thing last week. Came on suddenly and whipped my ass. I think I slept for 20 ours the first day.

Man, I can’t tell you how many times that’s happened to me. Fortunately, the symptoms go away the instant I decide I’m not going to make it to work/school.
