Re: Norovirus Found in Reusable Grocery Bags......Wonder how many newspapers and other media will pick up this "Green Story"??? Seems to me we just talked about this potential problem a week or so ago.... >>>>>Oregon scientists determined they had picked up the norovirus from the grocery bag. Tests turned up the virus on the sides of the bag below the polypropylene handle. The results of the research have been published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. The authors are Kimberly Repp, epidemiologist for Washington County, and William Keene, senior epidemiologist with Oregon Public Health. Norovirus causes about 21 million illnesses, 70,000 hospitalizations and 800 deaths a year in the United States. It caused 139 of 213 outbreaks of gastroenteritis in Oregon in 2010. The germ can spread quickly in places like day care centers, nursing homes, and cruise ships.<<<<<
