Carolina Beach, NC Stomach Flu

13:40 Jun 1 2015 Carolina Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina, United States of America

Description
I spent all last week swimming in the ocean at Carolina Beach. My last day on vacation I started to feel ill and nauseous. At first I thought it was something I ate so I called the restaurant I ate at the night before and no one else had reported being sick. I'm not sure how exactly I got sick. The symptoms are that of the stomach flu and it is absolutely excruciating. My husband just became sick today and our 11 month old also has diarrhea. I wish I knew how I got sick so I could help prevent others from becoming sick also.
