EVANSTON, Ill. - The Evanston Health and Human Services Department is investigating a norovirus outbreak connected to a dollar-burrito event for Northwestern University students.
The department launched an investigation after receiving complaints of stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea from students who attended a $1 burrito event at Big Wig Tacos & Burritos, the department said.
BIG wake up call. Norovirus runs in 18-30 months cycles. It starts out as hot as nuclear waste. Incredibly infectious and it absolutely locks you in the can - squirting from both ends. This is not an optimal adaptation in the modern world of indoor plumbing (worked great when people poop by the stream) and so successful norovirus are the ones that are less hot and more likely to let you out of the bathroom where you can help spread them.
That is why it is important to note these outbreak warnings. The next 6 months is food born illness season. Stop the buffets and salad bars. Only food prepared by a licensed food handler or in a home.
High level science talk here. Norovirus is almost exclusively a poopy hand in the food disease!
I can't think of a more deserving institution and the wanna-be nitwits whose parents pay through the a$$ to attend. I hope the administrators got the taco squirts too. I went there and hated the place. I counsel every high school kid I teach to avoid it like a shaken hornet's nest.
