A stomach bug has been sweeping through the UK, and it seems especially virulent. Hospital wards have been closed to new patients because wards are full. Crazy! If you have a stomach bug, do you know when you become contagious and for how long? Take this three question quiz to see. I was surprised by the answers and you may be too.

2Oh well, I can't take anymore sick days!
1/3...Ouch!
3I live in the UK and was struck down by this bug - it's truly nasty! My local hospital had to close a ward to prevent it spreading. I think it's finally on the way out, but only because most people I know have already had it.
4Yuck! I made 1/3.
5Yeah, I got this bug too. I had about five essays to finish and hand-in, whilst practically bed-ridden and feeling a bit rubbish really.
6It's not even funny how afraid I am of catching this.
7I don't want to be sh*tting from both ends!!!!!!
I'm so with you on that fluffyhelen! I would rather have almost anything than a stomach flu. Throwing up is literally one of my worst fears.
8i had that last year and went to the hospital. it's one of the worst things i had to go through.
9yuck I got a norovirus last year when I was vacationing in Italy. I was throwing up the entire 10 hour flight back. I lost 7 pounds in 2 days. These bad boys are nothing to mess with.
