Summary
Norovirus cases are surging in the U.S., with 91 outbreaks reported in early December, up from 69 the previous week, according to the CDC.
Norovirus, the leading cause of foodborne illness, spreads easily through contaminated food, water, surfaces, or direct contact.
Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain, with most cases resolving in 1-3 days, though it causes 900 deaths and 100,000 hospitalizations annually, mostly among the elderly and young children.
Frequent handwashing and disinfecting surfaces are essential to prevent infection during its peak season from November to April.
Had this recently, picked it up in Italy, hit full force on the flight back. Throwing up for 6 hours straight, and continued for another 12 hours. It’s been 2 weeks and my gut is finally starting to feel like it’s fully recovered.
3/10 stars, would do again.
