Emetophobe wants to know something - #10228
Hello I suffer from emetophobia and my partner threw up 3 to 4 times on the 29th of december 2025. He also suffered from stomach cramps but had no diarrhea. The next day he was fine again and mentioned it was probably food poisoning from some asian takeaway and it probably was the chicken. (His mother also tried a little bit from the chicken and was nauseaus but nothing else) Today (03.01.2026) we want to meet up but I'm scared about this being something contageous. How possible is it based on the symptoms that this could be norovirus? how possible is it to get infected from this by kissing? (Roughly 100 hours after the last symptoms)
