Have you walked into the new year feeling sick and rundown? You’re not alone. TikTok star Nadia Jaftha is feeling the same.

Nadia has been feeling super nauseous and took to social media to ask Dr Instagram what they thought was going on.

“I just want to know, what the hell is going on. Why is everyone s**tting, vomiting, have headaches?”

Not one to hold back, Nadia recounted her near-miss, and graphic, experience the night before that had her convinced there was something in the air.

Whatever it is, actress Zenande Mfenyana has it too.

She commented on the video, saying she thought she was the only one.

Others in the comments shared how they had not been out but have been sick for weeks.

“We were sick for weeks. Literally never went out all holidays. Rehydrate sachets really helped and charcoal tablets. Plus probiotics are always the best for anything tummy- related,” said fashion influencer Aqeelah Harron aka Fashion Breed.

Possible causes that were suggested included e.coli from Durban’s beaches and food going off at takeaway restaurants because of load-shedding.
