Silent Big Killer

NoroVirus

NoroVirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis. Infection is characterized by diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. Blood is not usually present. Fever and headache may occur. A contagious stomach bug that infects 685 million people around the world every year

NoroVirus first appeared around 2010. At Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, there have been more than 200 confirmed cases, mostly security and games personal, but also two atheletes

NoroVirus spreads from an infected person mainly by direct contact (such as shaking hands) by touching an infected surface or through contaminated water and food. Seven in 10 NoroVirus outbreaks are  caused by infected food workers. NoroVirus can cause serious illness and even death in children under the age of five, as well as elderly and people with weakened immune system

There are no special treatment (There is no cure for this so far). Doctors typically support patients by providing oral and intravenous fluids. Recovery is quick, usually 72 hours. (Otherwise you go the other direction)

Why NoroVirus is a Big Deal?


Yes, because even health inspectors admitted (it is an insight info) that this virus is (20) times stronger and much more dangerous than ECOLI and SALMONELLA. If you used to clean kitchen (1) time previously, you clean (20) times now
