A Sickening Mystery
We had some good friends stay at our house while we were out of town for the holidays. We came home to a clean house, maybe cleaner than we left it. Two nights later, our toddler woke up and couldn’t stop throwing up. We took her to the emergency room.
She stabilized after about five hours or so, but then, things got weirder. A few days after, I started feeling like I had a kidney stone. I ended up going to the emergency room. They hadn’t figured out what was wrong when my wife called saying she wasn’t feeling well either. I knew it all had to be connected.
About a month later, we were recounting our illness to a friend. He said, “Oh, wasn’t that right around the time our friend was in town? We never got to see them because they all had Norovirus that week.” A heads up before we got home would have been appreciated. Story credit: Reddit/WitnessMe
