Damage Caused by Norovirus Food Poisoning

  • Flu-like viral gastroenteritis
  • Severe dehydration
  • Increased risk for young children, the elderly and others with weakened immune systems

The vast majority of Norovirus infection cases are mild and brief. Some infected individuals experience uncomfortable flu-like symptoms including diarrhea and vomiting.

In some cases, individuals with a Norovirus infection need to be hospitalized with an IV drip because of severe dehydration.  If you or a member of your family appears to have a case of viral gastroenteritis and has difficulty drinking or keeping down fluids, you may want to contact your family physician.

The groups who are most at risk from a Norovirus infection are the very young, the elderly, and people who have weakened immune systems.  If you or your family member has a Norovirus infection and is a member of one of these groups, you should be sure to maintain proper hydration by consuming lots of beverages.
