doom expands to encompass household

Well, shit. Wim has it now. I may have been unfair to blame Sam's Sushi (Ballard), though I still think that shrimp was dodgy. At least I'm mostly recovered today and can help.

Cats are of course in a constant state of barfiness, but can Wim's new arthropod pet actually vomit? We may find out!

I am so sorry about the sick!

Also I think I don't want to know too much about Wim's new pet.

I know, duh, why do you think I didn't say what it was?

Betsy suggested norovirus, which fits awfully well. I'll call the doctor in the morning to see if he wants to test me, as the CDC is interested in noro strains.

Do not read further comments to this post.

If it actually is norovirus, it may still have been the shrimp. I got norovirus from a Chinese restaurant once.

My doctor's office doesn't seem to care what it is since I'm not having acute symptoms any more, so I will never know. The CDC said it could come from food but also that 5 hours was really not enough incubation time.

What kind of arthropod does Wim have as a pet? Is it a KLAPPAR SKALBAGGE, only live?

Don't tell m-pig, but it's a giant African millipede. It's pretty cute and has awesome segmented antennae.

Blargh! *hides*
