| | Eye - In Praise Of The Stomach Flu - 04.18.96 |
| | Fortunately, the stomach flu transforms even the cuddliest of extroverts (even small children) into shivering, evasive misanthropes who cannot even bear the sight of another human being, or even a representation of a human personality, (like one of those nauseating Muppets) on TV. | | | You'd be spending time with existential, miserable friends or relatives or working at an existential, miserable job -- activities that might compel you to go to the local bar with the intent of making yourself nauseous on purpose by drinking several Jagermeisters! | | | It's hard to believe that human beings have evolved this far without the anatomical equivalent of a little pail hanging around our necks. |

| | Flu vaccine can prevent flu, but only those strains included in the year’s vaccine and, even then, not in all cases. | | | In most cases, our "stomach flu" callers are suffering from Norovirus gastroenteritis -- an infection of the stomach and intestines that, years ago, was known as "winter vomiting disease." More recently its popular (but incorrect) label has been "stomach flu." The fact is, there’s no such thing as "stomach flu." Norovirus isn’t an Influenza virus. | | | Every year, starting in late autumn, our epidemiology staff gets a lot of calls from people wondering about their "stomach flu" symptoms and worrying they've got a deadly case of influenza. |
