How It Spreads
Surfaces, shared food, and the air after someone vomits. Hand sanitizer does not kill it; soap and water and bleach do.
What To Do
Small sips of fluid with electrolytes, rest, and anti-nausea medication if you cannot keep anything down. A Nausea & Stomach Relief IV ($299) with ondansetron at home when sips are not working.
When to Get Help
No urine for 12 hours, dizziness on standing, confusion, blood in stool, or symptoms past 72 hours. The ER for severe pain or high fever.
