Norovirus Is Back—And It’s a New Strain?!

Norovirus season is already making headlines, and get this: there’s a new dominant strain (GII.17) taking over the U.S. It’s been behind 75% of outbreaks this year, and cases spiked way earlier than usual—think October, not December. Outbreaks even hit a decade-high this past winter! Scientists aren’t sure if this new strain means we’ll see another early surge, but they’re keeping a close eye. Wash those hands, people! #Norovirus #HealthNews #StaySafe #Health

Norovirus Season Might Start Early Again?!

Anyone else notice stomach bugs hitting earlier last year? Turns out, a new norovirus strain (GII.17) crashed the party and may have messed with the usual outbreak schedule. Normally, norovirus season kicks off in December, but last year it started in October! Now, the CDC is watching closely to see if this new strain will keep things unpredictable. Basically, we might need to brace for an early wave again—stay tuned (and maybe stock up on hand sanitizer). #Norovirus #HealthNews #CDC #Health

Norovirus Season Might Start Early Again?!

Norovirus usually waits till December to crash the party, but last year it showed up in October thanks to a new strain (GII.17) and caused a record wave of stomach bugs. Now, the CDC is keeping a close eye to see if this early surge will happen again. With GII.17 still dominating most outbreaks, experts aren’t sure if we’re in for another early season or if things will go back to normal. Stay tuned and maybe stock up on hand sanitizer! #Norovirus #CDC #HealthNews #Health

Oyster Recall Right Before Memorial Day?!

Just when you thought your Memorial Day seafood feast was safe, the FDA dropped a recall on oysters from Korea because of possible norovirus contamination. If you’re in AZ, CA, CO, GA, ID, KS, NV, TX, UT, or WA, check your freezer! These oysters might look and smell fine, but they could make you seriously sick. Toss them or call your distributor ASAP. Norovirus is no joke—think stomach bug from hell. Stay safe and double-check your shellfish! #FoodRecall #Oysters #Norovirus #Health

Luxury Cruise Turns Into Stomach Bug Saga

Imagine dropping big bucks on a luxury cruise only to spend it hugging the toilet!
