    Default question about SV?

    So I have a question...

    So, from my understanding you get the stomach virus when it attacks your intestines, ( i could be wrong but i don't know thats what i believe) now, lets say on monday at noon you were "exposed" but you had like 2-3 bowel movements since, would it of passed through you?

    so basically, the more you poop is it less likely to have a bug or you'd experience symptoms sooner cause your emptying your bowels?
    If you try and tell me a phobia is unreal. I dare you to live a day, and feel what I have to feel.

    how many days has it been since you were exposed? I always believed 48 hours max. If you haven't v* by then you are safe?

    You are most likely to be symptomatic from a stomach virus 36-48 hours after you were exposed to it. It enters your body through the intestines but that is not necessarily where it does its damage. If the virus has already been absorbed through your intestines, it doesn't matter how much you defecate after that.
