There is no such thing as a safe suntan.

Norovirus 🦠

Norovirus causes diarrhoea and vomiting. It is one of the most common stomach bugs in Ireland.

It's also called the 'winter vomiting bug'
You can normally look after yourself or your child at home.

Symptoms of norovirus

You're likely to have norovirus if you:

feel sick (nausea)
get sick (vomit)
have diarrhoea
Some people also have:

a slight fever
headaches
painful stomach cramps
aching limbs
The symptoms start 1 to 2 days after you become infected and last for up to 2 or 3 days.

Treatment for norovirus

The best thing to do is to stay at home until you're feeling better. There's no cure for norovirus, so you have to let it run its course.

Antibiotics will not help because it's caused by a virus.

You do not usually need to get medical advice unless there's a risk of a more serious problem.

It's important not to become dehydrated if you have a chronic medical condition such as diabetes.

Using sunbeds for the first time before the age of 35 increases your risk of developing melanoma skin cancer by 75%.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and sunbeds can damage skin and increase your risk of skin cancers including:

melanoma
non-melanoma skin cancer
This is because most skin cancers are caused by UV light damaging the DNA in skin cells. UVA and UVB are types of UV light. They damage skin over time, making it more likely for skin cancers to develop.
