Stomach bug/cold at Carolina Beach
03:35 Sep 30 2015 Carolina Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina, United States of America
Description
Visited Saturday - Monday. Son was in the ocean a little bit and now has a stomach bug accompanied by a cough and runny nose. Vomited 5 times in the last 24 hours upon our return home. I also am feeling like I have the beginning of a cold, and my stomach is queasy (but that could be from cleaning up so much puke). I spent more time in the water than him. It was also rainy most of our vacation.Additional Data
