anyone had 2009 flu. I cannot stop puking.?

You don't have the flu.

You have Norwalk virus.

Stay in bed and stay rested.If you cannot drink liquids, sip them.It is important to stay hydrated.You should ask someone to pick you up some Gatorade or pedialyte to replace your electrolytes.

Don't eat anything until at least 4 hours after your last vomiting bout.

Here are some ways to prevent it in the future and to prevent from infecting others.

Just remember that hand sanitizers don't work against this virus.

Other common cleaners also do not kill it.Bleach will.

Here are some tips on preventing it and prevention of spreading it:

The Norwalk virus is known as the nasty 24 hour bug that causes viral gastroenteritis (sudden watery diarrhea and/or vomiting).Usually non life threating but can cause complications in the very young,elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

PREVENTION-Wash your hands before preparing food/eating food and most importantly, TOUCHING YOUR MOUTH/NOSE/EYES.

The ONLY way to become infected with this virus is if you ingest the contaminated fecal/vomit particles through your eyes,nose and mouth.

It is impossible to "breathe" in the virus BUT possible to become infected by breathing in aerosol "spray" droplets from someone vomiting right next to you.(the droplets settle within minuted but can still infect someone until cleaned with bleach)

Even if your whole family breaks out with this virus, you can prevent it by washing your hands for at least 15-20 seconds with warm water and soap.Remember that you are not killing the virus, you are washing it down the drain even if you use an antibacterial soap (which only kills bacteria, not viruses) hand sanitizers are also not successful in killing the virus.

If a member of your family comes down with the virus, let them know to wash their hands AFTER a bowel movement and vomiting.

To clean infected areas, clean with BLEACH.Clean bathrooms (all infected areas) with a bleach solution as soon as possible and be sure to prevent cross contamination and wash your hands afterwards.Especially children! wipe down all commonly touched objects like door knobs, faucet handles, light switches, toilet flushers etc.

People are STILL contagious even after 24 hours after their symptoms settle down so it is always important to wash your hands after the rest room (which you should do anyways!)

The key to staying Norwalk virus free is to keep sanitary.Wash your hands after using the bathroom...you could prevent other peoples misery as well as yours!!

Myths

It is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to get infected in any of the following ways:

1. Being “near” someone who has it, including co-workers or friends

2. Being on a plane with people who have it

3. Breathing the same air as someone who has it

4. Being in the same building as someone who has it

5. Walking past a pool of vomit on the floor, road or sidewalk

6. Through having sexual relations with an infected person

7. Through a cut in your skin

8. Through your rectum or genitalia (as in, on a toilet)

9. Kissing someone who is not yet showing symptoms (note: it may be possible to catch it from someone who has recently vomited by kissing them, as viral particles may be in their mouth from vomitus. But the virus is NOT transmitted through saliva)

10. Number 6, above, applies similarly to sharing cups or utensils with someone as well.

TIPS:Do not share any cups/plates/utensils with an infected person and be sure to wash in a bleach solution to prevent cross contamination with the rest of your family.

Good luck and stay healthy.:)

A lot of people I know have had it, my daughter included. She puked for 19 hours straight. Sorry, I know that's not good news. Also had friends have it and it seems like its going about an average of 20 hours. It seems like its a bad one this year. Good luck, I know its awful, but if this helps, my daughter was back to normal the next day, like it had never happened.

Just drink lots of water and get some rest. You will be fine. If it lasts over 4 days go to your doctor.
