Nasty Disease Spreading Through Utah Has Many Praying for Death

Feeling ill is never ideal, and can ruin someone's day in a hurry. While faking sickness from time to time is nice to get out of work, school, or sleep in, getting sick for real is less fun. Some illnesses aren't so bad. Staying home with a cold, while irritating isn't awful, staying home with a fever, but not many other symptoms can be ok, but staying home while stuck in bed or the bathroom is the worst. There is one nasty disease going around Utah right now that has many stuck around the toilet or on it, and it has many praying for it to end, and contemplating death, instead of suffering through it.

Stomach Illness Spreading in Utah

Stomach issues are not something many enjoy, especially when they cause you to sprint to the nearest restroom, sink, trash can, or to go outside. The stomach bug going around right now is aggressive and is hitting families, coworkers, and friends hard. It affects everybody differently, as some will be throwing up, and others will have it coming out of the other end. In rare occurrences, you may have both, but in most cases only have one or the other. It is consistent, making it hard to get anything done until it ends.

It starts with a stomach ache, and feeling like you ate something bad, but will quickly escalate.

There will be significant weight loss in a short amount of time, nausea afterward, and perhaps dehydration. Sadly, none of the medicines or techniques you know to settle stomach issues will work.
