Right, I haven't been posting these few days lately <- (people who says this are usually people who are gonna quit blogging. But don't worry; I'll stay as crazy as the world still seem fit.) well, like anyone would care if i'd stop blogging or not...
I've contracted some virus called Rotavirus.
These are the symptoms: Headache, Slight Fever, Constant Vomiting & Constant Diarrhoea.
Pretty sick stuff if you ask me. I think i started puking on Monday noon, Guofeng can be the witness for this.
Then when I reached home, I practically puked my guts out! Water, rice, chicken, not to mention that stench of curry... Bleagh.
Right so i went and find out what the hell happened to me, and I found a page on yahoo, about a guy that has the same symptoms as i did.
This was the question:
Constant vomiting, diarrhea, headache, what the heck do i have?
This was the description:
So I went home. As soon as I got home I felt another bubbling in my stomach. So I sat on the toilet and had the weirdest diarrhoea ever. It was only liquid, no chunks, and it was like I was peeing out my butt.
And this was the ‘Best answer’:
Viral infection of your stomach, aka viral gastroenteritis, caused probably by norovirus or rotavirus. It causes diarrhoea and vomiting. very common, should be self-limiting and will resolve in 2-3 days. take good care of your hand hygiene when you go to the toilet as it is transmitted from poo -> hand -> food -> mouth
quite infectious so take care when handling with food or dealing with other people
the key is to keep hydrated by drinking enough fluids to cope with the loss via diarrhoea and vomiting. Isotonic or sport drinks would be good but plain water should be okay. There is no antibiotic or antivirals that would be effective for viral gastroenteritis
So... uh what? Poo? I touched shit before eating? Heck no, I don’t remember touching anyone’s shit?! Like hell I Touched shit, I won’t even fucking touch my own shit what makes you think I’ll touch any other kinda shit!?
Then, I looked it up at wiki:
Rotavirus is transmitted by the faecal-oral route. It infects cells that line the small intestine and produces an enterotoxin, which induces gastroenteritis, leading to severe diarrhoea and sometimes death through dehydration.
Wow... death... poor guy...
WTF?! DEATH?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE HELL I’M GONNA DIE!
Alright lets continue....
almost 60,000 hospitalisations, and around 37 deaths each year.
Dude, talk about scary.
Right, while we’re at it, try not to get so depressed over this kind of small stuff. There are a whole lotta others that are more miserable.
