Suspected food poisoning sickens 30

Michael Bates from the Hernando Today has reported that there has been a possible norovirus outbreak at Mallie Kyla's cafe in Brooksville, Florida.  Full story

BROOKSVILLE — A nasty outbreak of possible food poisoning hit at least 30 people and grounded several county staffers and government officials this past weekend after they attended a public workshop last Friday.

It is unclear how many residents who attended the workshop were affected.

County Health Department Environmental Manager Al Gray suspects the victims were hit with Norovirus, a food-borne illness that is highly contagious and can be spread by human contact.

There is a better way than anything out there now, to prevent hand-to-hand transfer. Take a look at this product at www.santize.com I own this distributorship and we almost can't keep up with demand.

It's hitting us in Bucks County, PA - pretty steady for 2-3 weeks (I found this blog while searching for treatment/prevention info).

I belive that I have been experiencing this virus in the Mat-Su Valley, here in Alaska. Thank you for your website.
