As the weather changes during the year, there are also unfortunately seasonal sicknesses that come to those who are very sensitive to certain elements of a season. One such case is the norovirus, and recently there are reports that reveal what can bring on the contagious disease.
Norovirus is also referred to as the winter vomiting bug in countries where there is winter. Aside from vomiting, diarrhea is also a symptom of this illness. Fortunately, this can easily be treated and cured in a matter of days. However, the main concern people have with this is the fact that it is highly contagious and how easy it is to infect people.
Express reports that this contagious disease can also be transmitted through certain foods and drinks, among those being homemade smoothies. Homemade smoothies prepared by people who are carrying the virus would effectively transmit it to other people. The experts reveal that what makes the homemade smoothies part of the cause of the spreading of the virus all lies with the frozen fruit used to make it.
The frozen fruits, strawberries and raspberries in particular, if they are exposed to the norovirus, can survive the freezing process. The chances of spreading the norovirus are higher if the frozen fruit is uncooked as well.
This comes in light of the outbreak that occurred in the UK last week, where health officials went to about 60 schools after an alarming number of both students and the staff were diagnosed to have the virus. A team from Canada’s National Food Virology Center investigated the outbreak as well as previous outbreaks and have concluded that from the 15,000 cases of the Norovirus, 80 percent of it was caused by raspberries.
Dr. Neda Nasheri of Health Canada said that fresh fruits and vegetables can be directly infected with the virus whether it is through contaminated water, surfaces or even hands. These fruits and vegetables then undergo the freezing process without being decontaminated, resulting in the virus remaining.
The rate of norovirus cases has increased this year by 26 percent. Because of the outbreak, many schools have resorted to closing down until further notice.
