Absolutely NOT!: Norovirus was discovered in norwalk ohio in 1968. It is a common, self limited disease characterized by vomiting, watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, occasionally loss of taste, generalized malaise, low grade fever, cramps and headache. Having the disease does not lead to complete immunity -- so exposure can lead to more symptoms! good hand washing can help. Best to steer clear and stay clean!
