How to not get the stomach flu
The Best Way To Keep The Stomach Bug From Spreading, According To a Doctor
Timecodes:
the most common cause we call a
gastroenteritis
it's called norovirus that's the typical
cause or most common cause of
gastroenteritis you probably call it the
stomach flu right right and and the kids
will come home and adults can get it to
vomiting diarrhea okay here's the big
thing
quarantine sounds like a terrible term
but I'm actually glad you do that
because again that virus every time your
child vomits or has diarrhea what
happens is that that virus is expelled
everywhere so it's on the surfaces it's
in the bathrooms
so quarantine is smart but one of the
things about norovirus is that because
it can end up on all your surfaces and
it's easily spread and if you touch the
virus then you touch your lips or mouth
you can get it as well it's the one time
where I say if you know a surface is
contaminated you need to use a
disinfectant to try to keep the rest of
the family safe that's why we literally
have bleached white sand sprays out here
right it is and so this is the one time
I'm I'm an all-natural cleaner type of
guy because I don't like to use a ton of
toxic chemicals so for in most cases I'm
at my house I'm just using all natural
cleaners right in that case you want to
go with an actual disinfectant okay
these are more powerful they're also
more caustic so you have to be a little
bit careful and you can either buy sort
of the disinfectant wipes or sprays that
are formulated already for this just
read the label or you can actually make
your own using bleach and a little
bleach goes a long way you use bleach at
home at all not really
Rachel I mean we always had bleach and I
was a kid now I buy the you know Morgan
it's just more convenient to have the
wipes yeah and that kind of thing and I
mean I'm also that way because bleach
can be incredibly irritating I mean I
think this is a little aggressive they
were running on goggles do you want me
to just add those for Rachel I'm doing
the demo all right
I tell you this you don't want to take a
small problem in norovirus the good news
is your kids get it and they usually do
fine right you keep them hydrated yep
and as an ER guy Rachel I've taken care
of people who've gotten into the bleach
and ended up with in a bad situation
that's why I'm being a little dramatic
here but you know there's one tablespoon
mixed to say a gallon gallon water and
you can use that to disinfect anything
yes with your own shallow take it you
can disinfect your your phone your
keyboard
