Norovirus: Think Restaurants, Not Cruise Ships, CDC Says - NBC News.com

Norovirus: Think Restaurants, Not Cruise Ships, CDC Says - NBC News.com



Here is a very important article about the norovirus and how it is transmitted.  Restaurants got the most blame for the gastrointestinal sickness that norovirus causes.  If you end up vomiting several hours after you have eaten at a particular restaurant, the chances are high that norovirus is causing it.  Most people will probably ride out the problem or go to a walk-in clinic where they will be given medicine, but the true diagnosis may never be known since the clinics are limited on how much testing they can do.  Certainly, if you get a food-borne illness, one step you should take is to avoid that particular restaurant in the future.
