Ask Albanians Hey guys is there some virus going around in Albania?
Some of my relatives that have been there this summer got all kinds of stomach issues and it seems to be contagious

Ive had it for 3 days seems to be getting better now, eat fiber and bland foods not many spices (rice and grilled chicken is my go to choice). Eat a few gut friendly stuff, yogurt and some pickle juice and youll be fine, if you get diarrhea or vomiting make sure to drink plenty of fluids afterwards

What country are you from? Me and a few other people got stomach issues from some bacteria from some water that albanians can drink because their stomachs are used to it but ours couldn't handle it.

I'm albanian and a month ago approx we drank some of what we call "uje burimi" meaning a water that came from the mountain from natural source not the tap water, and later some days I became weak my stomach was dizzy and the other 3 relatives of mine had diarrhea vomiting etc etc, so I wanna come to the point that it is bad for us as well, when it comes to food and drinks there should be no funny stuff in there. p.s We made a complaint to the local health authority and nothing is going to happen ofc we know but we still did just because they bring you natural water from deposits and they may poison others too

The water could be from the mountain but it can get contaminated on the way down

u/Stoic_Coder012 Jugor 16h ago
It rarely is because of that because that's one of the cleanest forms of water and if that was the case they wouldn't provide it becauee all their clients would die, natural source water is one of the best there is

Yes I had really bad puke two days ago. I had fast food just the night before and I thought maybe I got poisoned, but people have been talking about some virus spread. It was weird cuz it lasted just one day, I feel okay now :0

From the symptoms I had, first vomiting and bloated stomach along with diarrhoea and lots of gas, 2nd couldn’t sleep, 3rd any smell made me want to vomit more, 4th body fatigue, 5th headache, 6th sweating and shivers.
All of that happened in the first day, 2nd day in the afternoon I was all fine again 😅
I didn’t get tested for what it was, but from the symptoms I thought it might have been the flu or influenza.

u/brushcrush3 1d ago
I got really sick, puked my soul out and had a really high fever, a friend at the apartment had also contracted it. So I guess the answer is - yes.

u/Professional_Fault55 21h ago

u/almo2026 1d ago
Yeah can confirm was in Vlore and went from healthy to leaky AF with nausea, lethargy and chills, lasted 24hrs then it happened to my friend as well. Thought it was food poisoning but we both ate different meals so must be a virus 🦠

Just got back from my vacation in Albania (Vlore) and had diarrhea the whole day yesterday. I'm feeling a bit better today. I started feeling off the day I was leaving, probably because I drank water the day before from a fresh water source by the sea, where I saw people filling their bottles and gallons. That must have been it, since I drank bottled water throughout my entire stay until then.

u/haris888 22h ago
Me and my friend also had diarrhea and had to vomit the whole night. It was first me with unconsciousness included, and then him. We ate almost the same food. Seems like it is really a contagious virus. Now our ofmther friend is sleeping the whole day, we wonder what is going on😅

I heard that a lot of people who were swimming in Vlore came down with a stomach bug. With the beaches being so crowded it wouldn’t surprise me

u/AfterSwordfish6342 Përmet 1d ago
What is there to elaborate? How do you elaborate not being sick, or not knowing anyone thats sick?
1
u/AlfredPenisworth 1d ago
You don't. You also don't say 'nope' to 'is there some virus around'.
-2
u/AfterSwordfish6342 Përmet 1d ago
You kinda do, he asked random people so hes getting random responses he then has to aggregate to get a good result
1
u/AlfredPenisworth 1d ago
- Is asked if there's some virus around
- Has no information so answers 'nope'
- Refuses to elaborate, aggregate this yourself

u/AfterSwordfish6342 Përmet 1d ago

Rruga per Permet eshte e rregullt me asfalt dhe sinjalistike vetem tek ura ka ca gropa dhe nje pjese e rruges (fillimi sa ben dalje nga aksi kryesor) eshte goxha e ngushte. Update-in e fundit per rrugen e kam nga viti kaluar.

It's the same as every year around this period. To me it seems like some sort of stomach flu or stomach bug as they call it. Sudden feeling of being unwell, no energy, vomiting/diarrhea.
Transmits very easily, goes away in a couple of days.
