Norovirus Ravaging Family in FL

#1 Postby MWatkins » Mon May 29, 2006 12:22 am

Well, my ex wife reports about 7 members of my immediate family and her visiting extended family all come down with the same stomach ailment in the last 3 days. My youngest started it, and it has spread to his cousins, my ex wife and most recently my older son.

I have been taking great care to avoid anything that has come in contact with the virus. So far I have a bit of a runny nose but that's it.

However, I did a search on google and many places in Florida, including SW and central FL are reporting cases.

In every case in my family it has come on suddenly and ended in 24 hours or less.

Beware. We had this hit my family in 2001 and it was not fun.

Stomach virus. My daughters best friend at school had it, and I have heard that its going around too. The first I heard about the Noro was when it was getting on the cruise boats and going around the boats like wild fire. They had to stop running the boats for a few day and would literally do a top to bottom disinfection of the entire boat. Just heard about it going around the general public with in the last few weeks to a month.
