Wash your hands! This is an awful thing to contract.

      2011-ish for me. I literally know the moment the Virus entered our lives, my 2yo son licked the Walmart shopping cart handle.

      Kids got sick first, thankfully, they recovered quick.

      The adults on other hand… Ooof. Ever throw up so hard that you scream? Every 3-5 minutes, for days? While also violently soiling yourself from the other end due to the forceful projectile vomiting attempts.

      So. Much. Fun.

          Its one of those stories I will tell for the rest of my life. Bust out at weddings to embarass my kids.

          My daughter self potty trained that weekend. First from the sheer trauma of overflowing her diaper from all possible angles at once. Then later from having to fend for herself and her brother for a couple of days, while her parents tried to turn themselves inside out.

        Funny you mention it.

        Scream puking is a known symptom of marijuana overuse. It’s called CHS

        It’s bizarrely specific.

        Any weed smokers out there that read “scream puke” and knew what you meant? – cut back.

        Edit: copium is cheaper than facts 🤤

          Cannabis hyperemesis ends up in ER visits a lot. I saw it many times. Cannabis is not as innocent as people would have you think.

          Yes, hyperactive emesis does take place in other aspects of life, indeed.

          Cannabis related hyperemesis is highly controversial, and if valid, only effects a very small subset of the population, in a very obvious manner.

          Nowhere is someone barfing so hard their neighbors can hear them, and thinking ‘I should smoke a fattie, it’ll help!’. At least not more than a few times before the lack of differing outcomes becomes apparent.

            1. Your assumptions are wrong. First many, many people believe marijuana is a great treatment for nausea. Including those affected by CHS

            2. Cannabis hyperemesis is… Not controversial. Cope harder? NHIS isn’t one for controversial diagnoses. They’re, in fact, an authority that reports to the CDC. There is no controversy beyond your statement.

            Thanks for incorrecting me.
