US : Cook County schools hit by norovirus

Via Chicago Tribune :

" Susan Silbernagel can only use one adjective to describe the illness she recently experienced: awful.

"That is the only word I can use," said Silbernagel, who began suffering vomiting and intense stomach cramps last week.

The Elmhurst-area resident said her doctor confirmed her ailments as a case of the norovirus, a gastrointestinal illness known to spread in the late fall and winter months. She doesn't know how she contracted the virus, though her 11-year-old daughter attends a Lombard elementary where she said numerous children have been out sick in recent weeks."
