On a recent SW Airlines flight, a woman passenger vomited severely. The kind steardess helped and then removed the objectionable material. then sthe stewardess filled my cup with ice and served my drink. Little did I inow then that the woman had the highly contagious Noro virus. I had to be hospitalized for severe dehydration. - Learn from it: Never allow ice cubes in an airline cup. The stewardesses ar to busy and likely to grab the ice with the (contaminated) fingers. Ask for an unopened can of drink. That's my professional advice.

This is a very catchy ilness with severe flu-like symptoms that usually begin within 24 hrs and last from anywhere 24 to 72 hrs the young and the elderely gets hit most crucial best way to fight WASH hands before and after you eat use the bathroom and touching any stool or vomit also if your cleaning up alot of stool or vomit you should wear a gown and mask because being within 12 feet of a large amount of infected waste is dangerous too be safe and try not to eat out too much right now
