I would get it before a cruise or going on some vacation where it is likely. I took a trip to Egypt a while back and the plane trip back was a whole lot of sick people. Apparently I was one of the few in the family NOT to get it when I had gone as a child. Otherwise, the most recent place I’ve picked it up was at a workplace where we had no sinks in the locked area and the hand sanitizer was usually empty.
I'm scheduled for my first shot on Tuesday. Woo Hoo! I'm so happy. Now we have to get my husband in somehow. Appointments are in high demand here and hard to get.
"Conclusions: The meta-analysis suggested that the blood type A, B and AB might not affect susceptibility to norovirus infection. However, blood type O appeared to be more susceptible to norovirus infection."
Interesting. Blood type O is the one that seems to have the most immunity to most things. I guess this isn't one of them. My husband is type O and never gets sick. Like never. I am type A. I don't get sick that often, but enough, especially when I was teaching.
A healthy immune system is still vulnerable to getting sick. You cannot be that dense.
Getting sick helps builds a healthy immune system. I got full blown Noro symptoms the first time I was exposed but just showing up to work everyday during a Noro & Roto outbreak on the pediatric ward built my immunity to it. Noro now = Heartburn for a night for me.
No. I’ve had puking bugs before as a child but never got norovirus the few times it went through our household as an adult even though I was the one taking care of everyone which included cleaning up vomit.
The first time it made the rounds I had been taking oil of oregano when it hit to help prevent a cold sore and have since took it every time. Maybe I’m immune to norovirus or maybe oil of oregano which is an antiviral herb and is known to kill norovirus on surfaces helped me. My daughter took ooe the last time it hit our house with me and she also didn’t throw up. Maybe she developed some kind of immunity or maybe ooe works. Who knows. I see no need for a vaccine.
I had what was likely norovirus in late December of 2019. Vomited once, a slight fever overnight with chills and no appetite next day. Pretty much back to normal two days later. Not a big deal, not worth getting vaccinated for at this time in my life (age 62), IMO.
As someone with a severe dislike of vomiting, I would take ANYTHING that reduces my chances of catching the most horrendous virus in existence LOL
One of the few good things to come out of the COVID pandemic is that it has proven vaccine technology against viruses has really become much, much better.
There is a percentage of the population that have a genetic immunity to Norovirus. I think I may be one of them. I can't say for sure, But I've been exposed a bunch of times, and never had it. I used to teach pre-K and twice our school was hit hard with Norovirus. I never got it, even though many of my students and my assistant did.
If I'm not immune, I'd probably get the vaccine. But I would like some kind of test to see if I'm already immune beforehand.
You think?? Have you really been exposed? Just askin
