I don't know how these kids celebrate Thanksgiving, but I have had a disproportionate # of pukers today. It's been a revolving door of stomach ache with a pounding headache and SA/HA and vomiting all day.

Sounds like the celebrate by eating left overs that weren't stored correctly????

I laughed out loud (and inappropriately) at that. Bunny, you're a genius.

Same! This is our first day back because apparently, in this area, they celebrate by eating their badly stored leftovers in the woods while shooting deer on the monday after thanksgiving. The puking started before the day began.

Could be all the touching of things in the store? I think that's how my youngest got it.

This is the best response!!

I think the common bathrooms and over 60% of people who don't wash their hands is the cause. Get out there and mix germs up with a bunch of new people at holidays.

Puke fest here too.
