Arizona’s Family reported that it hit dozens of river rafters, and backcountry campers had reported “explosive” gastrointestinal illnesses after a rafting group reported the first case on April 6. The CDC said 11 out of 28 rafters got sick on that trip. Initially, many who got sick reported having norovirus-like symptoms, with some samples testing positive for the virus.

8 pack of beer gives me the same reaction. That's why I stopped drinking 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteDid you try again? Or just give up!
DeleteWell, just in case, check if they also ate an Brie cheese.
ReplyDeleteAre they sure it wasn't just Taco Bell?
ReplyDeleteThe problem is (and always has been) that the Havasupai tribe still lives in the bottom of the canyon. When you descend to the bottom to visit the azure lagoon pools and waterfall, that's on the reservation. Now where do you suppose any sewage goes? Yes, they have septics. But when really heavy rains occur and manure gets washed away, where does it end up?
ReplyDeleteYea'h I figured it was from the water or the food they ate. Even without the tribe there all it takes is for something to die or @rap in the stream. -sammy
DeleteThis, yes. I had a High School science teacher who had a case of amoebic dysentery from the water in the Colorado while rafting the canyon. Got so bad, the administration gave him a classroom right next to a faculty WC. Decent guy. John T., if you're out there, you are well remembered.
