B.C. oysters now linked to dozens of norovirus cases in several U.S. states

At least 91 people have become sick across U.S., after almost 300 reported cases in Canada

The Public Health Agency of Canada says the shellfish, harvested off the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, is linked to at least 279 illnesses, most in B.C., but cases have also been recorded in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

I got norovirus off eating a raw spot prawn 2 weeks ago. Just a heads up its not limited to oysters but probably all raw shellfish.

Investigators search for culprit behind norovirus outbreak in B.C. oysters

Norovirus causes stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhea. The pathogen that makes people sick is spread through human feces and vomit.
