I was discussing this with my Mum at the weekend, she says that stomach viruses didnt seem to be around when she was a kid in the 1950's, she said that colds and flu abounded along with polio, scarlet fever, measles etc. I didnt have a stomach virus as a child either, i got the odd upset stomach but never had any symptoms of what seems to be around today, i had my 1st at the age of 24 (im 35 now).It seems to be everywhere now, im always hearing someone saying that they or someone they know has been throwing up all night. Has it got more virulent over time or in the old days did people just blame bad food or something else for it?
Opinions please?
