Hey guys, as the end of noro season (hopefully!!) approaches, I wanted to share this site with you all Like many others here, I have panicked about being near people with noro, and this site provides all the facts and information about how you can really get it, the incubation period, etc. The site has been especially helpful to me today- I feel really sick right now, and though I got my period today and it could be from that, I have nevertheless been worried about the possibility of it being noro. It's calmed me down a little bit and made me think more logically about the whole situation. www.emetophobiahelp.org/norovirus.html

I read that before, when I didn't fully understand norovirus, and it helped me too!

I love that website so much. I copied this part into a word document to open up whenever my anxiety gets really bad:
"If you don’t put your hands in your mouth, don’t eat uncooked foods prepared in a restaurant, don't stand beside someone who's vomiting and don’t eat raw or steamed shellfish it is impossible to contract a Norovirus. Ensuring that your hands are properly washed before eating ensures that you will not catch it as well. There is no need to fear if you hear that someone at work or a friend you’ve visited has come down with the virus. You can’t catch it by simply being near someone who has it.
No matter how much of an “outbreak” of the virus is in your geographic area, you are at no greater risk of catching it than if only one person has it. Good hygiene will ensure you are safe."
