Digestive System Care

I was recently researching about digestive systems and I came across these "6 Simple Steps To Protect Against And Stop The Spread Of Stomach flu." ; Lockergnome in his Tech News watch says that outbreaks of norovirus-also known as stomach flu, a highly contagious, fast-moving virus has recently become a public health concern. The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) has six simple steps to protect families against noroviruses. Norovirus is the second most frequent cause of illness after the common cold. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, and occur between 24 and 48 hours after exposure. Norovirus, it says, can be life-threatening for the elderly and immunocompromised.
