Mother in law had the stomach virus and spread it to our toddler. She got very ill with n* and v* Christmas night and the last time she v* was December 27th, she's completely bounced back tonight and was thrilled we had pizza for dinner. Tonight after I put her to bed, husband told me his stomach felt very sour and was going to bed early. Is it possible the virus is still lingering in our apartment beside my cleaning and washing?? Or maybe it's just an upset stomach - he's had stomach issues since a near death appendicitis when he was 15.

Well, from what I've heard, it stays in the poo for up to two weeks and on surfaces for two hours. If he got any v or d particles in him, it's possible he's sick, but since he's got frequent stomach issues, I'd say it's probably safe.

Norovirus can live on hard surfaces for up to two weeks but it isn't clear whether it can still make someone sick after that much time. It is also shed in a person's stool for up to two weeks as well. Hopefully your husband just has some indigestion and will be fine after a good nights sleep.

Well it's sadly something, he's still feeling ill today and no appetite. Perhaps it's what I had going on with me on the 30th, I had extreme n* that my Zofran was barely taking the edge off and sharp stomach pains for 3 or 4 days. I figured it was my anxiety or pregnancy issues but maybe it was a touch of bug I then gave him...

He's still weak and tired but back to work today. He sent me a quick message at work saying that aside from the occasional bathroom break the day is going fine. So I'm hoping this means it's cleared our home and wont be back. I'm still washing my hands like crazy, I'm so afraid of it still lingering on surfaces.
