NEW CAUSE FOUND FOR CRUISE SHIP ILLNESSES
On several different cruises during the past year, hundreds of passengers and crew members became
sick. Until recently, many people thought poor food handling was the cause of the illnesses on the cruise
ships. However, some doctors were not certain, and the actual cause of the illnesses was a mystery.
Now, a new report identified the cause of these recent illnesses.
A common virus called the Norwalk virus is responsible for some of the outbreaks. The Norwalk virus
spreads easily from person to person, but it is not caused by poor sanitation. Most people recover from
the illness quickly. There are ways to avoid the virus. Passengers and crew should wash their hands
often. People should also avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth. Large cruise ships carry thousands
of passengers and crew members and illnesses can spread quickly. With a few precautions, people can
stop the spread of virus.
