NEARLY 200 people have been struck down by an outbreak of a highly-contagious illness 'consistent with norovirus' at Yosemite National Park.Sierra Nevada mountains - have been left violently ill with some suffering severe vomiting and chronic diarrhea.The exact origin of the outbreak is still unclear and park officials still don't know whether those who became ill contracted something inside or outside the popular park.

That sounds a bit gross and unlikely but it can happen – in particular when you touch a contaminated surface and then put your hand in your mouth - or if you eat food which has been contaminated.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes norovirus as a highly-contagious stomach illness, spread by contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces.
