Avoid Norovirus this Winter
Have you ever been laid out for a couple days with a stomach bug?
While often referred to as the “stomach flu,” symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain are not related to the respiratory illness caused by influenza. Instead, you likely ate something contaminated with norovirus.
Here’s where I warn you this article gets a little gross. Simply put, norovirus makes you sick when you accidentally get tiny particles of poop or vomit from an infected person in your mouth.
How on Earth could such a terrible thing happen, you ask?
