Winter Vomiting Disease

Who'd a thunk that there was an actual illness called "Winter Vomiting Disease?"
Winter vomiting disease is currently spreading fast through Scotland and northern England. The disease, also known as 'small round structured virus' (SRSV), is very infectious and brings on a sudden onset of vomiting. The vomiting period can last from 24-36 hours.
