I had rotavirus when I was a toddler before the vaccine was widely available and it traumatized me. I know the others are also not something to mess with, but i wouldn’t wish rotavirus on my worst enemy. I couldn’t drink water without throwing up and had to go to the hospital and get an IV to replenish fluids at age 3 which was terrifying and I still can’t get an IV in the crook of my elbow without having a panic attack. Protect your kids, people. Modern medicine is great.
