im sure salmonella is contagious, I worked at a bakery with a woman who got it from uncooked chicken on a BBQ, when she came back to work she wasn't allowed to handle food for 6 weeks.

I'm the same, I think some of us are fascinated as well as terrified of vomit, for a lot of us it is the unknown (long may it stay that way!) and no I don't mean phile. Try and watch it and see if...

I know, it is a little worrying to say the least. What I don't understand is why some people get a sv once or twice a year and some people hardly ever, it cant all be down to good hygiene. I know...

I think noro is the lottery from hell, it picks it's victims at random. I'm b positive and had a mild form of noro when all around me were hugging buckets. Who really knows, we emets probably know as...

Hi Claire, I hope you are feeling better today. WTF, why has nobody noticed that there is a friggin troll posting hon this thread!
