Dude idk this is the one thing that makes me scratch my head.
Kids seem to throw up often when they are sick. When the adults catch it from their kids, they very rarely have any GI issues but especially not nausea/vomiting. This is absolutely anecdotal evidence, but I anticipate a lot of parents and childcare workers will find rings true enough.
Or maybe it’s my really shitty family genetics and we are all more likely to puke lol
The explanation I heard was that kids bodies are still learning how to pilot and maintain their meat ships so their stomachs will sometimes get upset and purge when they don’t need to/shouldn’t
Source: foggy memory of I think it was a SciShow video like 5-10 years ago?
Pretty sure there are strains that can cause nausea. I had one back around 2011 or so that nearly killed me after a week of puking non-stop. I reached a point of just sipping broth, not sleeping for like 36 hours towards the tail end. It’s what made me realize the times I thought I’d had it before were probably just food poisoning
This is why I said “typically does not” instead of never. Some people’s immune systems will go ape shit and get every possible symptom under the sun, and children’s immune systems/reactions can be more stressed till they build some strength and have more exposures through life so their bodies learn how to handle them.
But if someone has a bad day that they’re throwing up/have diarrhea (no stuffy nose, congestion, or other respiratory symptoms) then chances are they consumed something their body is trying to reject.
Wait the flu doesn’t typically cause nausea?!
…that was food poisoning I got as a kid, wasn’t it.
If flu can’t case nausea someone needs to tell our health service https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/flu/
I don’t see nausea mentioned anywhere on that page you linked.
“feeling sick and being sick” That’s the more usual term for it in England.
•feeling sick and being sick
This cat is sick, that doesn’t mean it has the flu
The NHS adjudges that cat as having flew.
This is UK English. It can just mean feeling unwell here, though it can also refer to throwing up. It’s quite a vague term.
You think the NHS website is going to list a symptom of some illness as feeling unwell?
I’m from the UK too. I’m fairly certain that they mean nausea and throwing up.
